That's what I am running in my wife's 94 and the idle in her car is real smooth...

I use Autolite plugs plat 1 cheepos that get me 400 miles per tank and seem to handle continuous high rpm output ( drove across the US in four days)
when i had my 2000 Jetta TDI I used Shell Rottela T full synthetic. 5-40 i think. blue bottle you can get at your local mega-lo mart good stuff and cheap check there web site.
I just put these on as summer tires and auto-x tires and the traction after they warm up a little bit is awesome. I used to have trouble even with the F1s spinning in second sometimes. With these I get pretty zero under hard acceleration.
NEW Mintex front 10.1 brake pads $45 NEW Mintex rear 9.4 brake pads $20
Actually, I changed my 85 Jetta from Delo 400 15W40 dino to Rotella T Synthetic 5W40 at 275K miles. Yes, you can do it.
today I installed a NGK BK7RE to my jetta, and it feels great. I like them a lot, considdering I haven't change my stock sparks .
You will also find the HAWK HPS pads to be nice, however they do get more grabby after a few stops once they get some heat into them being that they are a middle of the road performance street pad. The HPS's will never be as grabby/difficult to modulate as the ultimate ceramics/stock pads though.
Recently got my first oil change at 5K and used mobil 1 0w40. The engine is now louder as compared to what it originally was. Not sure if it is the oil being too thin? or perhaps the cold weather.
i've got some bosch silvers...and this happened after about 12k miles and currently (3k miles) later i'm getting similar symptoms as before.
