| Times are tight but the ten to twelve dollars saved not putting plugs in your car is just not worth it. Nice  A little used and junk  Notice the gap difference between the newer one and the old one. | |

| EEEK!
Because of the heat in an aircooed VW, plugs are only generally good for 9K miles anyway. At $2.60 each, you're right, not worth it.
VW head saver tip: Use Bosch. Others can eventually goof up the threads.

| You do know the plugs did not come out of a VW, the threads are a touch to long. And I would venture to guess more than 100k on them. | |
