    As someone who has done this exact job, I can say some things. (1) This is the BEST video on this procedure out there. BAR NONE. (2) It must be a lot easier to do on a lift than lying on my back on my garage floor. (3) Be aware that the camera can see things that your eyes can’t, like the Allen head bolts on the rearmost cylinders and the rear heat shield bolts. Taking those out and putting them in, respectively, by feel was a nightmare. For sure the E10 bolts will make this easier next time. Curse you Michael Hidalgo for making it look so easy! (4) If you don’t have the fancy-pants socket tools or just aren’t quite as dexterous as Mr. Hidalgo, then consider removing the mufflers for easier access.

    Thanks for the awesome video. One thing I did was to remove the rear wheels and the mufflers which is easy to do and this makes getting to the coils and spark plugs 10 times easier. I did it on the floor in the garage without a lift since the spark plugs are just behind the mufflers. Bonus: Perfect time for a muffler bypass pipe!

    Exceptional video for the technical content, the tips, the production and your presenting abilities. Just as a tip for anyone caught short of an e10 spanner whilst changing the coil as I did and not wanting to delay the job by ordering one, I got away with a normal 8mm open ended spanner. It was a snug fit and worked a treat, not ideal but got me out of a hole.

    I know if doesn't need to be done, but on my 996.2 Targa, I removed the bumper and mufflers for better access to the spark plugs. I do not have a lift and this allowed me to sit eye level with the spark plugs, which aided in changing them out. Plus, with the mufflers off, it gave an excuse to have the Gundo hack done on them. :) Great video, keep the 996 content coming!

  • @user-kj1ji7wo1v

    Loved this video and --having watched it a dozen times before i took on the job--it was just as described. the best tip was the purchase of a racheting torx wrench, used it to install 4 of the six coils and just as easy as a socket. But the spacers on the heat shield in the kit seem way too short; i'll need to get slightly longer ones.

    The heat shields don't seem to fit on the larger coils. Should I leave them off or do something else.
    FYI if you use a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter it's a lot easier to get at the plugs no universals needed.

    Someone please contact me. The #4 cylinder coil wire is the only one that takes me the most time to connect to the coil pack. It seems the wire is too short to make it easy to connect. It comes off fine but getting my hand up and grabbing the wire and then connecting it is really hard. It seems that the wiring harness could be pulled toward the back of the car to give me a bit of slack. Does anyone have an idea how to make this easy?

      Hello, typically every 60k miles or so is what is recommended by Porsche. If the car see's constant heavy driving, you can always bump that up to an earlier interval.
