Notes 
Spark
 plugs are replaced during the Volks
wagen scheduled Maintenance service. If 
you replace the spark plugs between the 
Volkswagen
 Maintenance services, the 
following should be noted:  • Engine, spark plugs and the ignition 
system are matched. To avoid faulty opera
tion
 or engine damage, use only Original 
Volkswagen
 spark plugs. It is especially  important to note the number of electrodes 
and heat value.  • Since spark plug specifications may 
change
 for technical reasons during a cur
 rent
 model year, we recommend
 that
 you 
obtain your spark plugs from a Volks
wagen dealer who has the latest informa
tion.
