Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You have to remove the rear lights, rear bumper, several heat shields, inner wheel lining, undo the bracket that holds the intercooler.....bend back another heat shield and then you should see the coil packs and plugs....takes a bit Pay attention to the clips on the boost hoses. They need to "snap" back in place. There is a channel they fit into. If you dont get it right, the hoses will pop of.

I did see the inner wheel house cover and figured I would be able to reach the front plugs through there. Not quite as easy as my 3.4 Thanks for the info.

Yep pull the bumper and intercoolers, no other easy way to do it... Not a bad job, as was said pay special attention to the clips which secure the cooler hoses.....

Well it's not the hardest job I have ever done. Just a pain in the butt for a set of plugs. No problem.
