Actually when I had my car serviced at VW (which I would never do again) they told me that the stock plug for the 2.0L was the tri-electrode F6DTC and that was the plug they used for the tune-up. -Scott '92 GTI 16V ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave M." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2000 9:21 PM Subject: Spark plugs > From what I can tell, the 1.8L cars came to the USA with Bosch F6DTC > 3-electrode plugs.
