New spark plugs RS6 C5
Going to replace the spark plugs in my car and just wondering which ones would be best?? Had a look through the forums already but there's nothing showing up for C5's.

Re: New spark plugs RS6 C5
Off the top of my head, OEM are NGK PFR7Q. I used genuine OEM Audi RS2 plugs in mine on the recommendation from MRC. There is a lot of information on here about plugs, including a 'how to' from Shop about changing them.

Re: New spark plugs RS6 C5
Ahh yeah I've seen the NGK PFR7Q pop up in RS4 forums as well. Must be fairly decent then? If they are OEM then they must be quality! .. I think I'll order a set over the weekend.
I remember putting iridium plugs in my S3 but tbh you couldn't really notice a difference.
Thanks for your input... I've spotted that 'how to' already and I've book marked the page
very handy indeed!!
Ill do this first then service both the Haldex and the gearbox together. Then we're laughing :p :p

Re: New spark plugs RS6 C5
C5 RS 6 has nothing to do with Haldex. It's a Torsen based system.

Do the fuel filter while you're at it.

Re: New spark plugs RS6 C5
Don't forget to ask for a long weight when you buy them spark plugs.
