After some advice after a £300 quote from my 'favourite' 'friendly' Audi dealership for spark plug replacement.
2 questions really; Is it easy to DIY (I'm reasonably practical)? Secondly, what are the options on spark plugs; from cheap to high performance?
(Sorry if this topic has been previously discussed, couldn't find anything using the search funct).

Wow , £300 is a bit much !! The plugs are £10 each and take 1 hour to fit .

Yeah, but is it an easy job? As far as I can see it looks fairly easy.
Personally I prefer the NGKs that Audi use for the RS6.
