Per my Bentley, the number for the recommended Beru plugs are 14-8 DU.

Jesse:

Bosch Silbers (F6DSR) were the OE plug on the 2L 16v.  Others have reported
using the Beru Silverstones with good results.  I know that a Beru plug is
mentioned in the Bentley, but I don't know its number.

        Hello all.  I know this is probably an old tired topic but my search
through the archives was not to fruitful.  I have a 91 Jetta 16v with a 1.8L
head.  I was wondering what plugs to run.  The PO used the Bosch triple
electrode plugs and when I had to take it in for a tune-up, the shop (very
respectable) said that they suggest Bosch platiums for 16v vws and that is
what is currently in there.  Then I heard that the platiums have too hot a
spark and can cause detonation.  I read a post that said to use either the
Bosch triple electrode or the Bosch Silbers.  I guess I just want to know
what the rest of you use and think. 

        TIA,
