  • In this video, I'll show you guys how easy it is to change the spark plugs!
    The process is fairly similar on other makes (easier on Toyota's, Honda's, etc). The key to success is having the right equipment and taking your time. It took me about 45 minutes to complete the job.
    The tools you'll need:
    - Disposable gloves: amzn.to/2RXMcHB
    - 10mm deep socket: amzn.to/3kSUblF
    - Socket set: amzn.to/3E4R7jr
    - Shop towels: amzn.to/3dWdFIn
    - Spark plug gap gauge: amzn.to/33USjSM
    - 5/16th spark plug socket: amzn.to/3RsVHLi
    - 6 inch extension bar (if the spark plug socket is short): amzn.to/3mSmjXY
    - Torque wrench (make sure it can go to at least 30 Nm): amzn.to/3n3fP90

    Thanks for a great video. I watched it 2-3 times and made some notes. I was able to successfully replace all the 4 spark plugs on my Audi A4 2018 2.0 TFSI. The car servicing place quoted $500. I managed to complete it by following this video after spending only $105. One note to anyone watching this in future. The spark plug gap for my Audi was 0.028 inches. Some websites mention 0.032 inches, but when I took out old spark plugs and measured them, they were 0.028 inches. The spark plugs I got from auto part store were pre gapped to 0.028 inches. Thank you again @DIY Detail for your well made video.

    Tips from video ( for me when I come back to it)
    Gap check-
    Spark plug torque - 30nm.
    10 mm bolt - 10 nm
    10mm nut (the one on the top most) - 7nm

    Your videos are so helpful. As a female I feel like the dealer sees me coming from a mile away. If your friend is willing could you replace the spark plugs on his 2017 VW Passat R-Line? You explain everything so well I believe this is something I could do on my VW myself. Thank you again! You have already saved me a lot of money by replacing my cabin and engine air filters!!

    Thank you so much for this, steps were great, worked perfectly after this. Only one thing though: for me, the 10mm bolt and nut would rotate with one another, putting risk of ripping the grounding wire. To fix this, I had to get a very thin 10mm wrench to hold the bolt, while a ratchet on the nut to break it loose. After that, it was normal.

    A month or two back the stealership "urgently" wanted to replace the plugs on my 2018 A5 Sportback. They quoted me $210. That seemed awfully high so I held off. I assumed it might be that it was difficult to get to them and/or required tearing apart half the engine to do so, hence the high price. I was probably going to have them do it when I took it back for a couple of recalls. Glad I watched this video first! 20 minutes and $40 of my own time is a much better deal and I come out of it with a much better set of plugs installed! Thanks for the great step by step and torque specs!

    Hi. Thank you for your videos. You make me want to find my tools for car servicing. I completely gave up on doing that myself once i bought German cars. I used to drive Japanese and they were so easy to change

    Great job on the video! I was able to replace 3 plugs, plug #1 (far left) was cranked in so hard I couldn't break it loose by the audi tech who replaced them last time before I bought the car. A call to the local dealership - not the same as the dealership that swapped the plugs last - in the morning coming for guidance.
    Interesting is that when I searched/googled the video for my 2016 A6 2.0T none of them showed the coil pack bolts and ground wires like your video of what you said is a 2017. I noticed them on a video for an oil change on a 2017 so I modified the search and found your video.
    Odd.

    Is it a 5/16 socket or 5/8?
    Edit, 5/8 socket will work, and can be found on autozone for $13~

    I tried removing the coil pack on 2014 tfsi audi a5 so I could change the spark plugs but the coils would not come out! I've changed spark plugs on multiple cars in the past, so it was quite puzzling to me that none of the coils wanted to come out. I couldnt get any of the the coils out ! Can someone advise?

      It was not totally easy, some are harder than others. I think on 1 and 3 I used an angled pry tool to get them loosed up a bit the had to work at them before them eventually popped off.

      The technique should be relatively the same. The plugs may be different due to the diesel/gas difference

    • @DIYDetail

      Hello! Spark plugs should be changed every 40k miles or 6 years

    • @CLane-nb4vl
      @CLane-nb4vl 4 года назад

      DIY Detail I’ve heard 30k. Is that just BS? Any harm in doing it at 30 rather 40?

    • @DIYDetail
      @DIYDetail  4 года назад +2

      @@CLane-nb4vl Great question! Audi recommends changing it at 30k only if you have the 2.0L TFSI Flex Fuel engine (or the RS7, S8). If you're like me with the standard 2.0L TFSI engine, you should replace them around 40k. There's no harm in replacing it early (granted you have no misfires, etc). The only thing is you might be replacing a part that may still have a good amount of "life" left on it. You can always inspect one of the spark plugs and see how bad it is!
