The car is OLD and its original owner stopped caring for it a decade or so ago. The guy I bought it from kept is as his backup car and didnt take the same care. MY thoughts are the plugs that came in it (the car is from Germany, potentially it was even a gray market car but who will ever know without CSI MECHANICS going over it) are the same ones that have been used to replace them over time.

There has to be someone who would have a pretty good GUESS about the type of plugs. OH, are you also saying that the TYPE will depend on how I replace them? IF SO, I'll still look at both ways.. just curious if the "walk through" has ever been posted in this forum.

I was a 914 forum member for a while and generally little stuff like this had already been discussed, walked through, nearly animated.

Thank you for your help. Honestly I feel like this issue will be solved pretty soon.

FINAL EASY QUESTION: What are the board recommendations for OIL for this car.. any fluids actually?
