If your headlights are on and you use windshield washer fluid, they automatically come on.

Thanks for the help you guys took the spark plugs out today and all four had a layer of white stuff on them. And call me and a buddy stupid but this was a first for us and we tried to gap the three pronged spark plug, went to autozone to see if there was a way to do it and just got a dumb look like "you don't gap these".
All in all thanks

They have to be the right gap. I don't know how hard it is to change those if they are not right but it still has to be the right gap.

Sorry it took so long but i put in NGK BKUR6ET and was told that there is no need to gap these. Is that right if not how do you gap them?

I was Googling it for you and came across this http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3798871

Maybe get some different plugs...

Ok so I went ahead and switched out those spark plugs for some bkr6e. But I'm still throughing random misfire codes on cyclinders 1 & 2 i switched the coilpacks around and nothing changed. What else could it be? Also what would be considered a tune up on this car?
