Thanks for the instructions on how to do this. The coil pack came out easier than I thought they would. Using cable ties is the best way to do the job. The spark plugs had been in from new build, all of 62700 miles. Cheers.
Thanks for the cable tie tip to remove the coil packs. My plugs had been in from new,62000 miles. I found a squirt of WD40 down between the coil pack and cylinder head helped too. Thanks again mate👍🏻
Thanks for the comment, glad it helped you out and way better than buying the special tool. Good shout on the WD40 and also on stretching the change out to 62k 😂
Currently working on my 4th one which is a pain to get out. I got the first 2 out on a warm engine with a lot of manual tugging. The 3rd one separated at the top and after stupidly tearing the boot with a pair of pliers, bought myself a small air compressor and shooting air down into the boot just popped it right out. Got a proper tool for the 4th one but even it does not really help in the end...still stuck. I may try your gradual method to work it out. However, I may just twist more and purposely separate the boot since the air compressor method to get the boot out works pretty much flawlessly.
Changed spark plugs this morning Warmed engine up Used T10530 tool, eased the coil packs loose. Changed oil and filter, air filter, cabin filter & wipers while waiting for the engine to cool Used the NGK 93231 revised plugs Torque to 20Nm Dielectric grease on coil packs CoD all working, nice and smooth. Original plugs in decent condition after 60k
@@ianruto3578 warm the engine up, put the car on axle stands, drop under tray, 19mm socket for sump plug, drain oil, oil filter is at the front of the engine and easily accessible. If its the ea211 engine the air filter is in the plastic box and to explain there's a few RUclips videos
@@kingofthewestmidlands4049I definitely have the plastic casing. I've ordered the necessary parts, cant wait to start work on it. Service is due and it had just shown a start stop fault on the dash, it went away but i think they are related. Just want to stay safe. Cheers mate
@@ianruto3578 buy a Ancel VD700 to reset the service inspection and can use it to register a new battery if you need one so the stop start function operates. Use the ancel for fault codes as VAG specific and a cheap useful tool. Change the spark plugs too as I did and my mpg increased dramatically even though the plugs I took out looked like new....
@@alanclarke888 Thanks. I looked at NGK statement that says that its plugs use plated coatings on the threads to prevent corrosion. Also mentions lube can result in over-tightening. I suppose I'd better stop doing it then!
You had an airline.... i was concerned that the boot would be stuck in the tube.... i had an idea as have compressed air and googled it and others have successfully stuck the air blow gun in the rubber hole and it pops out... ill try the same should it happen to me
Oh the last one...I have that same problem. Been running on 3 new plugs for 2 weeks. Waited for the special tool (knock-off version) and still can't get it out easily.
Hi Tony, if you are in east of England then we stock them at EU linco/ Wilco car parts as per my link in the title. however if not then google this part number PZKER7A8EGS and you will find them available at GSF motor factors as well as the usual places like Ebay
Great video Couple of questions Spark plug socket listed as 10mm but everywhere on the spark plug specs says 16mm (ive ordered a 16mm laser socket already) the plugs are a M12 thread? The Bosch plugs ive got them showing as 23Nm

Do you have the purchase link to ignition coil connector with silver pins ?
Thank you mate for an excellent video . Great patience. You should be a college instructor. Great help. God Bless you.
That’s very kind of you to say and I am glad it helped you out Charles. 👍

Hi Sir. Which one is CYLINDER4 ?Nearer to battery? Or furthest from battery?
Nearest the battery
@@alanclarke888 thk u very much
Nearest
Changed spark plugs this morning
Warmed engine up
Used T10530 tool, eased the coil packs loose.
Changed oil and filter, air filter, cabin filter & wipers while waiting for the engine to cool
Used the NGK 93231 revised plugs
Torque to 20Nm
Dielectric grease on coil packs
CoD all working, nice and smooth. Original plugs in decent condition after 60k
I have a similar engine on my Q3 1.4, how do i go about changing the oil and air filter. Also is the cabin filter in thr glove compartment?

Muchas gracias por la información tan detallada. Un gran saludo, tienes un suscriptor más 🤝
Many Thanks for the very good instruction!
Will that help me to remove my EPC and the engine emissions? I have Audi a1 2011 TFI. I really need to remove those 2. Thanks
Do you know where the location for oil pressure switch is on Audi A3 1.4Tfsi 8v model
What about some copper slip on the plug threads?
I didn’t do that as it can effect the torque I believe and it isn’t recommended in the service guide.

good idea, perhaps post a video so we can see how this method works.
What size socket are the spark plugs ?
16mm
What did you torque the spark plugs to?
For NGK it was 20nm
@@alanclarke888 thanks 👌🏻👍🏻
lifetime guarantee torque wrench looks not so possible ?
pulling these coil out can takes a day or 2 especially the last one lol

Could u send me the link to the spark plugs m8 can’t find them anywhere

Couple of questions
Spark plug socket listed as 10mm but everywhere on the spark plug specs says 16mm (ive ordered a 16mm laser socket already) the plugs are a M12 thread?
The Bosch plugs ive got them showing as 23Nm
yes 16mm is the socket size. Also I had this issue regarding torque, the bosh plugs do have the higher torque settings than the NGK
Thanks so much!
