Based on the Bosch Spark Plug database fiche I have, the original VW parts
fiche and ETKA, some (but not all) Wasserboxers of the 85 thru 91 vintage
were supplied with tri-electrode Bosch W7DTC or WR7DTC plugs, which have a
slightly longer reach.  I've run them for years in my 2.1 84 Westy - no
problems to report.  Other replacement alternatives are Bosch W7CC0 (also
OE) or Bosch W7CC, both of which are the standard single electrode.
