Default Replacing spark plugs in A6 3.0 - recommendation needed
Hey guys,

I'm going to be replacing my spark plugs soon on my 2015 A6 3.0 and wanted to quickly get suggestions on what to settle on. I've heard both Bosch and NGK so figured I'd just see what people recommended.

Thanks!

From my experience I've found NGK's to be the best. I put NGK 94460 Laser Platinum spark plugs in my A6 and they have been working great.

I used NGK. I have to change them again soon (I'm at 102k miles) and I will use them again. Got them from ECS.

Thanks everyone

I'll grab some of the NGK (94460) and give them a shot.

What is the propper gap for these? Are the NGK's pre-gapped?

Don't know the proper gap and I just trusted that they were gapped correctly.

The proper gap is .032 of an inch. This is per NGK website.
