Supercharged engines are particular about plugs. Use the recommended Bosch plugs, nothing fancier like people with n/a w202 buy hoping for better performance. They extra money will be thrown away and performance can actually suffer. I think the model number has changed slightly but the store should have the equivalency chart.

You use a metric allen wrench or socket head to take the cover off.
