Default Put in some Beru Ultra X sparks this weekend

2001 A4 1.8TQMS AWM engine
Someone posted that they had lots of misfires with this plug - worked fine for me.

I took an old plug out last week, just to see how it looked - looked fine.
Did a seafoam treatment in my oil this weekend. When I was done, I took the old plugs out - looked to be running rich - I assume this was just due to the seafoam.

Put new plug is, all gapped OK, ran great all weekend.

I only broke one clip on a coilpack and 2 clips holding a line (attached to the heat shield) while I was replacing a check valve - so it was a successful weekend - only 3 pieces broken!

Default Meh, my autolites ran great when i got them.

it was just 3 mo later when they crapped out that I realized that you get what you pay for.

maybe you will be luckier (I did have a leaky valve cover gasket, dont know if that causes premature wear.

Default It is from many years ago...

not really sure where it first came up, ut I'll bet money it was somewhere on AWOT.
Ended up finding @6 similar pictures, most more graphic than this one.

Looks to be a Euro location / photo shoot

I did the Audi Photoshop work...I believe that it is a classic.
