I have a 2007 GTI, These videos are super helpful, Here in Newfoundland, Canada. Labour costs at a Volkswagen dealership are typically super expensive, These walkthroughs make it easy to do the work myself.
Thanks! This is one of the most informative start to finish videos I’ve seen. Thanks for showing how to remove the cover. Other videos usually start with the cover already removed and the narrator says “okay, first remove the cover as you can see I’ve done”.
I watched your video today 03/01/2023 and I changed the ignition coils myself, no need to know mechanics, nice video congratulations
Thanks! 2008 GTi threw a code for the #1 coil. Glad this is all that it takes to replace the whole set of coils and plugs.
I changed my spark plugs today and this video was extremely helpful, I will be using the oil change video next, thanks for making these! I would quite like to see a video on putting on after market coilovers
You saved me $ from not taking it to a mechanic, thank you very much for the clear informative tutorial!
Simple, concise, all questions I had about the video were answers; overall great video. Thanks Mick
Thanks for explain everything step by step you are a good man
Extremely informative. Thank you good sir!
Great help seeing how you removed the coil harness connectors. The ones on my '07 GTI stuck a bit after 160000 miles of use, so a little bit of spray lube helped free up those plugs.
Thanks - good job explaining - simple and straightforward! I'm going to do mine now!
Thank you. Very clear and brief instruction.
Thinking of checking those out since I have fuel cuts / loss of power and couldn't figure it out why is this happening yet :) Thanks for the in-depth video
All your videos are nice, short and informative.. Nice work.
Great video! You saved me $423!
The engine cover @7:00 is hilarious. Jelly on a Golf, jelly on a Golf, wibble wobble, wibble wobble, jelly on a Golf.
Yep, this video is sick af :))
Great video - very straightforward!
This is a really informative and well made video. Thanks!
Is it a must to change the ignition coils when replacing the spark plugs? Brilliant video by the way
Can you please show a DIY for the timing belt replacement. Thanks!
Thank you like the info 👍👍
There’s a hack that you take two zip-ties or shoelaces and hook it underneath the coil head and pull it out.
thank you...ilove your videos
Just got finished doing this swap.
After reconnecting the battery and starting the car, the Airbag Warning light is on. Any thoughts on how to clear that after this service?
nice set of tools
Thanks Mick, great video, and appreciate it as it really helped me. Do the spark plugs come pre-set? TIA
Where to buy pollen filter
Nothing bad to say about the vid .but you didn't say the plugs gaps are factory set or need checking .
Platinum spark plugs need to be calibrated?
That's the quietest 2.0FSI turbo I've ever heard
Push it real good ! Lol thank u
When you disconnect the battery...should use a memory saver device..or you will loose all your radio presets and some engine codes
Hi what is the spark plug socket size?
Nice Vid, thx for that.
How many mm is the sparkplug tool? (don't know the name in Englisch).
Thx!
This comment is late, but I just bought the stuff to do this to my GTI TSI (which uses the same plugs as the FSI in the video). The spark plug tool is 5/8 inches or 16mm with a 3/8 drive ratchet (don't know the conversion for that one, sorry). Hope that helps!
Do you have to set the gapping on the spark plugs?
What sparkplugs can i buy for this? I want to buy them before i open up the engine to check what type is inside. Anyone have type numbers?
thanks micks...i wuold like say great!! how can i gate ur videos assisance personal
ly??
why we should remove battery's neqative terminal?
+MicksGarage1 I think POSITIVE side should be removed instead Negative terminal side.
+Joe Kungson Usually it is the negative terminal which we remove. Fiddling with positive first could lead to sparks, while negative is still connected. So during repair works negative is removed..
Good question. Safety!! The Negative wire goes to the body/frame already. By removing it, if you accidentally dropped a wrench on positive (or starter motor, which is where positive wire attaches directly) and other end touches the engine or body it won’t arc, because battery isn’t making a full loop. If you removed positive you could still make a full loop between positive pole and body and possibly blow up the battery. Always remove the negative side on a modern car. Just beware that very old tractors (1950’s and before) may be reversed.
Personally I also like to cover the positive with a cap or glove just for extra paranoia/ safety. Leave it hooked up. Just so that I don’t drop a wrench across both exposed poles.
What brand of spark plugs do you recommend ?
Sorry why don't you need to number then you said they can't get mixed up ?
Can I switch the coils around without it causing a issue?
Hi does the traction control light come on after disconnecting the battary
Vlogstar Parm my wife car did when I replaced the sparks and coils. It shit off after driving a short distance
You 100% should have checked the gap on the spark plugs and checked what distance they're rated for.
i think the 1st ignition coil was not properly sit on the engine head
yipee5247 in fact I tried to hammer it but it doesn’t seem to get in there at all.
Can someone please tell me the firing order? And is it from front view of engine or drivers side?!?!?!?!?!
Please and Thanks,
Nick
Sorry, this is a bit late, I'm doing this on my car. It's a 4-cylinder and the firing order is 1-3-4-2.
I found oil on one of the ignition coil bad or good?
There should be no oil in your coil wells. I would recommend replacing ur valve cover gasket and making sure it's torqued properly
in this engine do u guys recommend to change the ignition coils if u only wanna change the spark plugs? or must be changed?
noooo, not at all
thanks for the answer!
Normal story with car nerds.... This spark plug isnt that bad, but we will still go ahead and change it.... ;)
Not gonna gap your plugs?
Starts car revs immediately
Anti-seize or no?
and now my car is not starting?
Forgot to gauge the plugs🤣😜😜😜😜
would you please clearly and without blending word (if any) so that I can listen.
