Default Just found out that my stage 3 installer did not gap my plugs...

Would that cause the random misfires I am getting? Can I just take the plugs out and gap them correctly or do I need to get new ones? I believe the kit came with the Bosch platinum ones. What is the correct gap for ASP's stg 3 kit?
THanks.

Default The Bosch F5DP0R plugs come pregapped to 0.6mm (0.024"). You should check the gap before intalling

them, but they likely shouldn't need to be gapped.

If they were different plugs then they should absolutely be gapped. You can just pull out the existing plugs and gap them correctly, no need to replace them.

If you get non-Audi branded NGKs, they do need to be gapped.
