Spark plugs
What's up with the spark plugs for our cars? $30 each retail?! WTF! I got them near cost for $15 each but I don't exactly feel special dumping $127 for plugs.
At 55K miles they looked heavily worn, so I suspect they were not changed at the AudiCare 35K inspection. Plugs weren't on the paperwork either. Wish I would have caught it back then.

use bkr7e they are single electrode copper core, one range colder than stock plugs, thats the best plug for vw, audi cars, thats the one i use on every turbo car i flash (im in the chiptuning industry), i have this plugs working on 600whp cars and work awesome.......
I decided to give them a try on mi rs4 and they work wonderfull, as they are like 1.5 dlls a piece so for 12 dlls its a bargain, the only only negative point of this plugs is that they dont last long being copper core but should be good for at least 10,000 miles....
so for mr this ones are the best

Yes, expensive, but for historical perspective (read: "old fart"), having spent lots of time under my old VW, over motorcycles, and around cars changing plugs, and always with a torque wrench, I marvel at the efficiency and longevity of modern spark plugs. I really don't mind the cost, since my time is worth something.
