How easy are plugs to change on a car?
« on: 06 August 2008, 16:58 »
Specifically a 2.0 IV? Was going to book it in but if they're not hard to reach i'll give it a go myself. Any help on what ones to buy
would be great too.
Appreciate it.

Or if you could gimmie a link to a PDF manual for the Golf. :cool:

easy do one at a time so you don't mix up the HT leads.

You need to get a socket that is long enough to reach them and it needs to be one designed for spark plugs, takes about 10 minutes.

Although on the MK4 do you need to remove a load of plastic off the top of the engine?

Gonna hangout with the wangout

Cheers mate, i thought they'd be a bugger to get to, like right down in the engine.

Thanks again. :)
