The directions are great and in theory it should be easy, but it was a little more difficult than it should have been.....close quarters in trying to get your hands in there to dissconnect the coil pack and then reconnecting them.

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.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Re: How To: Spark Pug change? Followed Pedro's direction ion changing the plugs. The directions are great and in theory it should be easy, but it was a little more difficult than it should have been.....close quarters in trying to get your hands in there to dissconnect the coil pack and then reconnecting them. Once I got one bank done the other side was really a lot easier but small hands would make it easier and trying to get a small torque wrench under there to torque the plugs down was not as easy as I thought. In all it took about 3 hours. But that included down time trying to figure out how to contort my hands to get in the tight spaces. We will see how things are tomorrow morning when I fire it up. Not an impossible task but certainly one that you need to have patience with. While you are under the car and remove a couple of fender well covers you realize how dirty the car gets. This was a good time to clean it all out.....kind of like the radiator cleaning that needs to get done from time time.

POST 7Original post

Re: How To: Spark Pug change? I thought about doing it myself too...for about 3 seconds after Tom at TPC said it takes an hour and a half to change out the plugs if someone knows what they are doing. I went to my guy and the car was up and off a jack stand and jack in an hour. He even spent some time looking over the turbo setup and would have been done quicker but working around the catalytic converter slowed him down. What plugs did TPC send you? I got Bosch 7403.
