Tony,

Unfortunately my records aren't that thourough.  I do remember they were more
expensive than standard plugs but less expensive than Fast German Auto --
maybe $6.75 each but don't quote me.

I put them in in July '99 and have pulled them and cleaned them every time
I've set the timing and idle speed before the annual emmissions check.
Except for when I had a rich mixture problem they have come out a nice light
tan color.

I made several other 'improvements' about the same time -- replaced the PO's
Goodyear Wranglers with MXT's, added K&N air cleaner and polished the
throttle body -- so I can't attribute all the improvement in driving pleasure
to the +4's but I don't think they held anything back.

Recently on a trip back to Houston from Corpus Christi I managed to squeeze
20 mpg out of the automatic equipped beast.   I can't imagine that figure
getting much better until I can either do a full Lilley style rebuild or
convert to one of Kurt's TDi's.

someone some bad advice.....I'm glad you were able to enlighten us all. And

if you've had no problems after 2 years...well that says it all.
