Replacement plugs are about $6.00 each (depending on where you find them, of course, and which type
you get) and if you've got a torque wrench, do it yourself! It's REALLY easy. Otherwise, a competent
mechanic should have it done in less than 1/2 hour, so maybe ~$40 in labor costs.

You can buy the OEM NGK plugs from www.parts4vws.com, as well as a long-life version of the OEM
NGK's for a chunk more change.

I went to my dealer today for a major service...they've got this new menu,
ant the major service at 90,000 is $600!  Jesus christ?  I got one that was
$200 less and only is missing the spark plugs.  They were last replaced at
60K so I need to replace them soon, but I can't do it right now.

How much (parts and labor) should replacing the spark plugs cost?

Thanks,
John
