ive been suffering with rough idleing problems for quite a while now... recently i discovered that my mechanic had earlier replaced my sparks with generaic sparks with 3 tips (no Bosch +4 as in OEM) during a tune-up

he claims that the qualityof the plugs is high and that this is not the reason for the rought idle.

VAg usually throws up a "random cylinder misfire" code now and again...

can these spark plug be the reason for the missing?

My A6 2.8 used bosch tri electrode plugs. Are they bosch? I used oem when i changed mine.

wait for results between 3 and 10 days depending on how much you drive. If this solves it, replace the fuel filter. The problem may still return: try again with Techron.

I have had the same problem: airbil and PaulW looked at it and solved it with Techron. Replacing spark plugs didn't make a difference.

See all my Techron promotions by doing a forum search for "Techron" and account number 31455.

I use Techron routinely every 10k miles.

I'd run a tankful of Amoco Ultimate. That cleared up a failed emissions test for a co-worker of mine. I might even be cheaper to run every third tankful. Ultimate has a very high detergent package and I run it all the time.
