A few questions: We followed the instructions and it worked great. The car started up right away. It has a lot more power and sounds great. I ended up loosening the air intake manifold to get to the wires and third plug easier. While I was tightening the rear left bolt on the back of the air intake manifold I didn't realize that the bolt has a slight offset even when it is all the way tight. I ended up breaking the aluminum threaded hole. So... 1. Is this a safety issue or is this just an extra bolt? 2. Can you do a video where you replace the air intake manifold? And now I am worried I overtightened the plugs. I used a ratchet to tighten the spark plugs as tight as I could get them with a single hand. 3. Is it easy to overtighten/dangerous them?
Hi great video! I have a question if my car hesitates during acceleration, like you can feel it jumping and pulling back does that mean it's time to change the spark plugs?
Lol wow you shouldn’t record this, I really had high expectations for you as I thought watching 5 minutes of extra unplugging you must be a “go by the book” mechanic.. and then comes the ugliest Chinese pliers I ever did see instead of the correct $10 tool to take the boots off lol
Dont need to unplug anything. Just pull the wires off. Theyre accessible
@Omar. That is the secondary air injection pump. It injects fresh air into the exhaust system to reduce emissions.
kinda sounds like its used to cheat emissions lol
Wow, this is ridiculously complicated compared to my old car. (A Dodge Stratus)
Thanks for the video it really helped me out.

The location of my ignition coils on my 2003 VW jetta 2.0 seem to be different than this.
That’s odd. Not sure why.
My sisters beetle is also an 03 2.0 and her manifold looks nothing like that its plastic is it supposed to be iron?
Pichael Thompson I’ve never seen a plastic one. Maybe it’s aftermarket?
I'm also working on a 2003 beetle with a 2.0 and it has a plastic intake. Its factory
@@dgvette34 im not sure but i think its called an azj 2.0 engine idk if its swapped frm another vehicle but cldnt find any1 working on it
I think the plastic is just the cover but can easily be removed and it'll look like this
@@talonyoung5397 no it's not. I removed the whole intake. It was all plastic
At 1:10 what is that you're removing ?
just ask...why my beetle when I put reverse gear my car Engine suddenly off?
ryzal graseqa that's hard to say. Could be several things. Go to AutoZone or O'reillys and see if there are any codes in it. That may give you a clue.

Yep!
