New Spark Plugs...
I had the plugs changed on my 2001 C5 A4...I don't put a lot of miles on this car so it is very low mileage but I thought as it is over 9 years old and I didn't want the OE plugs to weld themselves into the heads so...

'preciate your response...I was sorry I couldn't report that I get 5 more miles to the gallon, the LS idle lump wasn't cured and I gained 10 horsepower to the rear wheels...like you can with an exhaust system or the K&N air filter swap...
