Bocshe super plugs (W8AC) and run them at .030 (inch) with a blue coil or if you have an MSD style ignition box, go to a gap of .040 (inch)
RO 082 isn't the actual Part Number of the Spark plug. Its BOSCH W8AC and I always coat the thread with Anti-Seize... makes it so much easier to unscrew.
If You use the genuine VW High tension spark plug leads with the bakelite cap with inbuilt resistor, the metal caps on the top of the spark plugs must be left off. If You are using Non genuine type high tension leads with flexible spark plug caps, the small cap on the end of the spark plug must be screwed on tightly.

Thanks Lee
It wasn't hard to get out cause it was in so tight, it was hard to get out cause of the damn position, angle and tinware. But the anti-sieze sounds like a good idea.

Be careful how you use the anti-sieze: they usually contain metal and can short your plugs if you use too much. VW only ever recommended clean threads and oil.
yeah its reccomended that you only coat the top 1/3 of the thread
