Instructions to install a 3-spoke (Airbag) Sport Steering Wheel in an UrS4
If you have a four spoke air bag steering wheel in your UrS4 and you can get a hold of a three spoke airbag sport steering wheel from an UrS6 or an early B5 A4 for a decent price (e.g. $120 for the wheel and $150 for the air bag), then you really owe it to yourself to convert the steering wheel. The feel of the car is amazingly different with the thicker-rimmed sport steering wheel. Follow the link to Steve Young's detailed instructions.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/185036.phtml">Link to the instructions</a></li></ul>

Technical reasons why sparkplugs can work themselves out of the AAN
Remember make any comments in the thread in the link, not here.
Lots of people just tighten by "feel". Personally, I like the "new" procedure detailed in the thread below.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/197154.phtml">Link to the reasons why plugs can get loose over time</a></li></ul>
