Spark plug Bosch or BERU
I've run NGK BKR7E's, NGK BRK7IX's, Bosch FR7LDC, and Bosch F7LTCR's. Of all of these plugs I noticed the best performance out of the F7LTCR's.
I switched to a Bosche plug F7LTCR $4.41 a piece from rockauto.com. They last 4 times longer, and run much better than the BKR7 series.
Bosch FR8DS plugs are stock aba (2.0L 8v) plusgs and are awesome.
VAG engines seem to like their factory recommended Bosch plugs better than any other.
I used Bosch W4CS (cheap plug) with good results in my G60.
I just replaced my plugs in an 89 16v yesterday. I ended up getting the Bosch platinum +2. I was leery of the platinums as everybody seems to knock them, but my car runs fine. They were 4 bucks each.
got my f6dtc's at the dealer (only place i could find them), and they were around 4 bucks a piece. car ran like a dream.
I got W7DC spark plugs from the local foreign parts place...performance hasn't been ideal, and I've already looked at some of the other common issues; I'm considering new plugs in part due to fouling (bad CTS, drove with a failed CTS for too long, lots of carbon on the plugs...cleaned them up some, but I'm not convinced they're OK).
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.
I have a strong opinion in not suggesting the Bosch or the Beru. There is a reason that BOSH is no longer the OE spark plug in VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz etc., etc... Stick to the NGK, especially in a VR6, NGK has been OE since the intro of the VR6 six months after Bosh failed to produce a plug that would run in these engine during start up. The Bosch had nothing but running problems.
