The spark plugs for the AGG/AKR/2E are...

NGK     BUR6ET           - 0.8mm gap
NGK     14GH-7DTUR    - 0.8mm gap
Bosch  W7LTCR          - 1.0mm gap

Should be 3 electrodes, They do make special ones now, which are upgrades, but the 3 electrode is the best due to the swirl of the air fuel mixture, they just seem to react better.

NGK For the win - i always have trouble with bosch.

the t in an ngk number means triple electrode and triple's are vw's standard spec (I'm a geek with NGK stuff, I knew the national sales manager guy during my motor trade years  :nerd:)

and bosch quality varies (they have a plug factory in brasil and the quality is shocking!)
