The engine code is the first 2 characters of the engine number, which should he recorded on the V5C as well as engraved on the engine block. Also on the vehicle data sticker and a sticker on the cambelt cover, if these are still present. For EX engines, there are several part numbers depending on the brand of plug. The Bosch version which is widely available is VW part number 101000005AB

Tell a lie, the part number I gave for the Bosch version appears to be no longer available. 3 of the 4 alternatives (Beru, NGK and Champion) supersede to 101000036AA, which I think is NGK

Yes, those are the ones. You'll notice they have triple electrodes, so called long life spark plugs, introduced by VW for model year 1986 onwards to extend the change interval to 20,000 miles.

NGK makes good plugs, my Cabby's Loved them.
I used the single iridium.

I used to love the Bosch triple plats until I got 2 sets with one bad plug in one set and two bad plugs in the replacement set.  

I did go back to the old school days and used my Ohm Meter to test the resistance of every plug before installing.

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.
