spark plugs + tech manuals

[djbergesen@dotstar.net (David Bergesen)]

Anyone currently using the Bosch Platinum +4 plugs? Any good word on them for the VR6? How hard is changing the plugs? I have looked at the engine of my 96, and they seem fairly deeply set, thanks to whatever it is on top of the engine (intake Manifold, I assume - I haven't yet taken much time to get to know the engine compartment of this car). What do I have to do to get the old plugs out and the new ones in, or is it just like any other plug change? Also, I picked up a Haynes for 94-97 Jettas and Golfs, only to find that they didn't include the 2.8 VR6 engine, so I have no tips. Anyone know of a comparable shop reference guide that covers the 2.8? Thanks.
