Those are not recommended for Audi's. They will not help performance and i've heard they make for rough idling and just plain suck. NGK's are the recommended brand.

I have a 2001 A4 1.8T AWM and currently using PFR6Q. I am still getting some slight misfire at idle but my VAG does not show it. Can someone tell me if they used BKR6E-11 in their A4 with the same engine as mine?

I don't really have a problem. It was just misfiring sometimes at idle, or it seems like a misfire.

Hey Dudley those PFR6Q plugs are the same as the 101000063aa plugs that we use here they should be working fine in your vehicle but the BKR6E-11 don't even show in my book I'm not sure what those are for

I use denso iridiums but at $60 bucks for four its kinda hard on the wallet. And since the electrode is such a fine point (0.7mm) if you bend it while trying to gap it, you have to buy another plug

Thanks Jestoman for the article.....I appreciate it bro and i ordered the NGKs off of sparkplugs.com

King D....dont quote me on this but with the audi turbo platform we are not suppose to use Denso Iridium or anyother platinum plugs becuase they dont work the way they are suppose to...Ive read alot about these...in fact check out the thread that Jestoman put on his post it talks about it
