what piece of high quality merchandise are you trying to procure from your local autozone, and their army of idiots?

spark plugs and wires

Wow, they didn't look at you like you were driving a model T? Plugs and wires are all the same for a type 4 engine.
The code (2 letter prefix) is on the top of the case between the breather tower and the fan shroud. Or save yourself the greasy dig and tell them it's an AW.

wires: Bosch 09171
plugs: debatable. i like Bosch W7CC (W 175 T2 old designation), but read these:

don't you have any VW shops nearby that know what they are taking about, rather than dealing with the mentally challenged who only know how to punch computer keys behind the counter at autozone? what are you going to say when they ask how many cylinders it has, or if the vehicle has air conditioning, 2 wheel drive or 4?
