2009-2016 Audi A4 2.0 TSfI How To Replace Spark Plugs

[@luisvega9977]

This tutorial saved my life! First time changing spark plugs and I got it done quick! Thank you!

[@jons4717]

Great tutorial! Nice job of explaining/showing all the steps clearly. Saves paying almost $500 bucks at the dealership to replace spark plugs. Seriously, you can replace the spark plugs and coils yourself for about $130.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

JON S glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!

[@jolantawis27]

Fantastic video! I just changed mine thanks to you and saved $120 because I bought spark plugs :)

[@danielstevenson3073]

You just helped an amateur in the UK out in 2023. You've done gods work my man. Thank you so much!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Thank you!! Glad to help all the way over here from San Diego California

[@ronmcgillivary883]

Just finished changing my Audi’s spark plugs and your video was excellent! Thank you. I also used a small amount of dielectric grease.

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Ron McGillivary glad the video helped, thank you for watching and the tip!

[@robsonselzelin]

Nice job filming with one hand and working with the other! Kudos 👏👏👏

Matt A glad the video helped. Thank you for watching, writing and subscribing!

[@artiechokeify]

Thanks for your video. 👏 I took my car to 2 mechanical workshops(Sorry we're too buzy) to change 1 spark plug that keep fouling due to oil.. changed my first ever spark plug..

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Artline glad the video helped. Sucks that it keeps happening.

[@nuri4ik]

Great video. Do you have a video of how to replace the knock sensor on the same Audi ?

[@sherwinnepomuceno3037]

thank you. changed my plugs twice after watching this!!!

[@michaelscoots]

I was looking over my scheduled maintenance and realized the last time I took my Avant to Audi it was essentially a $425 glorified oil change. I’m approaching 70k and realize spark plugs will be next. Figure I can do the oil and plugs on my own next time - thanks to your video!!!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

michaelscoots yes you can do it and save big. Good luck with it 👍🏻 thank you for watching!

[@ryanmoore4098]

Great video! Also folks, make sure the engine is cool and use a torque wrench as done in this video. Remember this an aluminum block...

[@Spitfire8o5]

Thanks for sharing this simple video of how to do it step by step 💪🏼 about to tackle mine in a few

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Spitfire8o5 you’re going to save a bunch of money by doing it yourself. Glad the video was helpful thank you for watching!

David Williams glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!!

[@MrNetAble]

Audi Shop in Perth Australia asked me 430AUD (320USD aprox) for the same procedure. Done that DIY in 1/2 an hour.

[@dusty_five_2]

Good advices on the sockets removal techniques. But geeZ 22 ft/lbs! I've never torque any motor vehicle spark plugs to more than 13 ft/lbs, especially with anti-seize applied.

[@jmt4288]

decent video, including the use of safety gloves and minus the Milwaukee advertisements...

[@tomobrien7720]

Even though they come pre set on gap always check them and carefully you can adjust the gap never trust others. Also with the dissimilar metals of spark plug base and aluminum cylinder head a dab of anti seize on threads is highly recommended for removal later.

[@2tallB]

Tom O'Brien highly recommended, except by the manufacturer of the plug

[@ryanmoore4098]

ALWAYS CHECK! While you’re at store just grab a Gap Tool off the rack and check them. If one is off have it swapped out for another. ALWAYS CHECK!!!!!!!!!

[@joejulian8385]

very helpful thanks...

[@blackbuilt]

Phenomenal video. very clear instructions

[@HowtoAutomotive]

blackbuilt thank you and thank you for watching!

[@nolannsautodetail5468]

Have u had any issue with N g k. Spark plugs. Would u recommend them. Thank you in advance

[@HowtoAutomotive]

NGK spark have been great and are the factory plugs on a lot of vehicles. I would recommend them.

[@romans7842]

I did mine and didnt have to unscrew the wire harness. This comes apart from the middle and then pry up the coil by hand. Once done you put the harness plastic back carefully placing the wires as they were when you pulled it apart.

[@xopalape22]

How do you remove the service due from your dash after doing all that?

[@majidaziz]

Invest in an OBD2 scanner.

[@magmag9999]

Awesome

[@k.quttmi7411]

Thank you the video helpful but what torque size bolt

[@HowtoAutomotive]

K. quttmi I believe it was a T 30

[@Essantii]

What are the cylinder numbers ? Like in order? Does it start from the inside of the engine?

[@m1willfindubest357]

Do i have to disconnect the battery when doing this job?

[@Avidcommentor32]

Thanks Sir!

[@nickplenzick2602]

A decent video however I would add a few things. Its no big deal to unplug the injectors and doing so will give you more room to move the harness away. Also I've watch a couple videos on this and every single one makes it look easy to pull the ignition coils out. It wasn't easy on my 13 A5 with 75 k, it was truly a PIA. They were so stuck you would have thought someone glued them in. I had to use generous amounts of silicon spray along with lifting, twisting, and spraying some more to finally get them loose. The last time the plugs were replaced was at the dealer at 35K. I used a little bit of die electric grease with a Q tip along the boot were the plug connects and some along the rubber part at top of the ignition coil. Should be mush easier next time!

[@joelalmanzar2062]

Thank you.

[@BrianChimilio]

Is it 20 or 22 foot pounds of torque ? Somebody of KZbin said 20 fp of torque

[@Kiss__Kiss]

Will I be able to use the same plugs/procedure on a 2nd gen (US) A4 allroad?

[@m9katchm9]

I'm having cylinder 2 misfire from oil on my spark plug.. what's the gasket I need need fix this?? It looks like there like sitting in the spark plug hole.

[@joong-ockmoon9024]

Good job.But How about disconnect battery ?

[@HowtoAutomotive]

joong-ock Moon there’s no need to disconnect it for this service.

[@joong-ockmoon9024]

[@berkankaplan5660]

Is 2.0 tfsi audi engine or vw engine

[@feeldapower]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@betterbeavailable]

My ignition coils were totally different. They say VAG and seem authentic. Extremely hard to get out. I might have broken one because it split in half.

[@eddiejr3934]

Are these reliable vehicles? Thinking of getting one…. They look nice 👀

[@Almighty_jones]

No

[@SecretAgentNigward]

@@Almighty_jones yes, if you take care of them and are routine with maintenance. Owned my ‘12 A4 since the year it dropped and have had zero issues with it. If you treat the car like shit, it won’t last long.

[@cliffm5559]

No, everything about them is a PIA, over engineered for no apparent reason and over priced repairs/maintenance.

[@MasterTuttoo]

some real nigga shit, straight to the point respect

[@Boodieman72]

I didn't need to pry the coils up, just pulled them out by hand. Your video and about 20 mins later all the plugs are replaced and all put back together.

[@Chris-vx3qi]

Your a Legend 👍🎄

[@KingJuancho69]

So I face a problem today, the torque screw is stripped. What should I do?

[@pkorzinek]

Audi dealer quoted $600+ for the spark plugs and oil change!!!

[@HowtoAutomotive]

Yeah you could do it yourself for way less than that. Thank you for watching!

[@buttdreads]

What are the best spark plugs for this car?

[@RB-YWGLGA]

NGK BKR7EIX or, if you’ve upgraded the turbo or tune, you could go for NGK BKR8EIX.

[@buttdreads]

@@RB-YWGLGA thank you

[@Imdimplez83]

My audi a4 2009 engine light popped up many times ans its the coils or spark plugs

[@kalebdimas]

Jas Akadimplez What Code Would You Get If You Rmemeber

[@Imdimplez83]

SmokiiiBear it was the sparks plugs. It was saying coil misfire or somethin like that. It got fixed. Paid 400

[@Almighty_jones]

@@Imdimplez83 clda did it yourself should just look into vids like this next time . Just finished fixing a misfire from a coil and spark plug on my hyundai . Finna change coils and plugs on this audi now takes less than a hour

What if my button broke on the ignition coils???

Did u figure it out?

[@mathewhoffer4541]

Ignore this guy .. when changing spark plugs get off your ass and actually LOOK up the gap on the new plugs and then verify it carefully with a feeler gauge. Do not "eyeball" is as he mentioned and yes they are supposed to be pre gapped but then again shit happens they can be gapped if done carefully. iridium tips are very brittle you have to check the gap with a feeler gauge not one of them old fashioned round ones where you spin it clockwise and it forces the gap to the desired amount this tool will snap off your tip.

[@mathewhoffer4541]

Also for the luv of GOD dont use a fricking air ratchet putting them in or out this guy is clearly not a professional with half a brain .. this guy must make a ton of extra cash fixing stuff like cross threaded spark plug holes etc.. he probably just replaces the entire engine then fixes the core ?

[@wgwyatt]

Which NKG SPARK PART #

[@wgwyatt]

2012 Audi A5 Cabriolet Quattro Tiptronic 2.0t turbo

[@tjohanson]

Never use power tools when installing spark plugs. Heads are aluminum, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

[@Strunz0]

Brake sensors, $30 spark plugs, etc. "Sorry mom, I'm not taking care of your car maintenance anymore. Should have bought the GT350R like I told you to..." lol

[@Anselme51]

It's TFSI not TSFI

[@mv-xy3om]

easier to unplug injectors and pull coils out by hand. imo

[@sachellebabbar9005]

"injectors", eh? The ones that are nowhere near the coils? Those injectors, right?

[@jacobreyes3834]

good looks g car stopped shaking on idle 🫡
