Default Sparkplug ?s

I have a 1997 A4 1.8T. What spark plugs do I need? Ever since I put in Denso Iridium plugs, I"ve had nothing but misfiring problems.

Called the dealer and they said I need the Bosch plugs, but they want $15 each for them! Is this a normal price?

Use what Audi calls for, as for the $15 ah-pop. Don't feel bad, Beetles plugs go for $21each.

Default Same here :-(

I'm not liking the Densos. I might just go to Autozone and see what they have.......no way i'm paying $15 a plug--that's more than the Densos!
