If it's like the spark plugs for any other Audi or VW I've ever worked on,
then it's a standard (i.e. not the smaller type found on many French cars)
plug socket. Most socket sets have a special one for the spark plugs. This
is marked "14mm" but it isn't 14mm across the flats. Actual size is
approximately 20mm, but you'd be best advised to get the proper tool - which
has a rubber insert in the deep socket which holds the plug and prevents it
falling out. In may experience whenever the plug falls out of the socket
it's on a car with the under-engine tray in place

Your other post confirms you're in the UK (spelling of "****"). You should
be able to get a spark-plug tool at Halfords or similar without any problem.
