How to check the spark plugs in an Audi 80?

My Audi 80 has been having some starting issues lately. I suspect it might be a problem with the spark plugs. How can I check if they need to be replaced?

Hello Jane, checking the spark plugs in your Audi 80 is an easy task that can be done at home. First, make sure your car's engine is cool. Then, locate the spark plugs which are usually found on the engine's cylinder head. Remove the ignition wires from the spark plugs and use a spark plug socket to remove the plugs. Inspect them for any damage or wear and replace if necessary.

Hi Jane, to add on to John's answer, another way to check your spark plugs is by performing a spark plug test. This involves removing the spark plugs and connecting them to the ignition wires. Then, crank the engine and observe the spark plugs for a blue spark. If there is no spark, it's a sign that the spark plugs need to be replaced.
