Greetings everyone,

I own a 2020 R8 Performance, which I think has a DMWA engine code.

The vehicle requires a spark plug service, and I intended to do it myself; but, I am unable to locate compatible spark plugs. Are they dealer-specific components?

I have reached 40,000 miles and have previously serviced the DSG. Should I go with the Haldex service now or defer it until a later time? I want to retain the automobile for an extended period and wish to monitor the fluid levels diligently.

Thank you.

I can only locate PFR7S8EG in my vicinity. The specification discrepancy seems to be a resistor value of 5k Ohm compared to 1k Ohm. Upon conducting some research, PFR7S8EG seems to be compatible with the OEM component number 06H905601C, suggesting it should function well.

Spark plugs are often available from dealers; however, PFR7S8EG is a suitable alternative due to its compatibility. Concerning the Haldex service, it is advisable to do it now if you want to retain the vehicle for an extended period.

Greetings

The 06H905601C is designated for ignition coils necessitating 5 K Ohm, and this spark plug exclusively has 5 K Ohm.
