Change plugs, caps & rotors, every 30kmi!!
When we did the 90kmi service on my C4, I decided to do the plug wires as well. They were just over $500 for the set, & took a solid few PITA hours to change. My car didn't need them.
If you think there is a problem, start your car @ NIGHT, get a spray bottle, fill it with water, then spray around your plug wires, if you see ANY blue light, you NEED new wires. No light, & chances are you are OK. Of course you should also do the wires under the engine tin, that can be hard to get at unless you are up in the air.
