Some Volkswagen models actually came with a diesel engine. Others have spark plugs located under the distributor cap. Once the distributor cap is removed replace the spark plugs one by one as to not get them crossed.
there is a spark plug for every cylinder so there are four spark plugs 14 or 16 gauges
14
10-14 ft
B = Change oil/filter 1 = Rotate and inspect tires 4 = Replace spark plugs and timing belt
Replace when engine is cold. Remove plastic engine cover. Remove ignitor/coil for each plug. Using a spark plug socket with an extension, remove each plug by turning counter clockwise. Place a small amount of anti-seize on each plug and install. There is a factory torque value for the plugs. Probably about 14 ft.lbs. Reinstall other components.
With an appropriate size spark plug socket (with the rubber insert to grab the plug) twist to the left. Keep turning until you can lift it out. When installing new plugs, torque to 14 ft lbs (no more or you risk stripping the threads in the cylinder head). Cheers

the spark plugs are located in the top of the engine block. locate your spark plug wires, and follow them down into the holes for the plugs. there should be 3 on one side and 3 on the other, from front to back. they are recessed down in the top of the enigine, so a socket wrench with a long extension will be nessecary. the 6th plug on a 6 cyl engine is EXTREMELY difficult to change. it is in the very back of the engine, down about 14 inches or so from the top. you will not be able to see it without a mirror, as it is very close to the firewall and there is only a couple of inches of space to work with. i recommend haveing a professional do it. its woth the time and money. i recently changed the plugs in my '03 xterra and it took 3 hours. 30 min for the font 5, and 2 1/2 hours for that one plug in the back. it really is that hard to get to.

Under the hood you will see a thin metal plate right on top of the motor and there are four bolts. They are 14 mm and the plugs are under there in between the cams. There is a rubber gasket around the plugs. Pull them off, and there you go.
