Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

I service my car myself and I've never snap any bolts except the ones those in exhaust manifold for heat shield.
Anyway we just got one spark plug out and it is NGK R BKUR7ET. Are they any good?Comment

I have always used NGK plugs. PFR 6Q IIRC. With no problems and my Polo has a Stage 2 tune from Gav. I have generally changed them every 60,000k's and I now have over 165,000k's up.2001 Bora 4 Motion Sport now used by number two son

An NGK '6' is the standard OEM heat range isn't it. How do they look after 60k km's - a bit worse for wear or pretty good? I was thinking that it might be worth a go going back to standard heat range (I've been a heat range colder since I bought the car) now that water injection is on there, at least for the street. Theoretically the combustion temps should have dropped with it operating.Comment

The current plugs have been in there since Gav did the stage 2 tune about 60,000k's ago (At around 105,000k's). When he took the old ones out which had also done around 60,000k's at the time he said they were pretty well finished but the car was still running fine. Currently the car is running fine but I have 4 new plugs sitting on my desk ready to go in. I've had the Stage 1 tune since 40,000k's.2001 Bora 4 Motion Sport now used by number two son
