When replacing the engine cover, a trick I learned is add a little personal lubricant (ky, astro glide etc.) on the rubber grommets, makes it easy to pop it back into place. The reason for personal lubricant is it won't damage the rubber.
@Verbalism7 жыл бұрын
That isn't necessarily true with regards to your statement about the lubricant not damaging the rubber. Your lubricant needs to be water based in order to avoid damage to rubbers. The products you mentioned fall within that scope, but I wanted to clarify this for people who will connect their own dots and use other products.

3:32 One trick worth doing at this point is tosit the plug on the hole/top of the thread and rotate it gently counter-clockwise with your fingers on the shaft of the ratchet extension until you feel the slight 'click' of the two thread engaging (the plug thread and the thread in the cylinder head). That way you will avoid any risk of cross-threading which would be a nighmare! Also, I was always taught to put a dab of lithium grease on the top of the plug before applying the connector (in this case the coil) as it gives a better electrical connection and keeps away any moisture.

There is some misinformation in the description on what spark plugs are for what car. The two spark plug links that are listed will fit all 2.5 motors, but you didn’t list which motors required which spark plug. Yes, you could go by vin. Here is a list from the VW parts data base. If you have a half year car, please go by your VIN. Rabbit 2006-2009, 2005.5-2007 jetta use the NGK double platinum laser PZFR5Q-11 (6737) VW part number 101905600C. These are the only cars with a 2.5 that VW calls for NGK platinum plugs. 2007.5 and 2015 jetta, 2006-2009 beetle, 2010-2014 golf, 2012-2015 Passat all use Bosch copper/nickel FR7HE02 vw part number 101905601F. VW calls for all these cars to use a Bosch copper/nickel plug. I like that you guys state that there are two different plugs for the 2.5. Most places don’t they give choices of different plugs and say they work on all 2.5s. Side note. Whenever I look on your website to find plugs for my 2006 Rabbit, there are never any listed.
@bruceb55144 күн бұрын

I had a misfire on #4. 37,000 miles on my Jetta. I just replaced all five of the stupid things probably 5,000-10,000 miles ago. I have not changed the spark plugs ever, so I bought those as well. This time, instead of replacing all five which appears to have been a waste of money now, I will replace only number four but keep a couple spares around. My question is, which one is number four? I assume fourth from the left/second from the right as that would make the most logical sense. Is that the case? I should note that the worker told me nine times out of 10 it is the ignition coil and not the spark plug. Is it not uncommon for an ignition coil to go out after 5,000 to 10,000 miles? Also, the light only came on once, flashed for maybe five to 10 seconds, and has not come on again. Though, I've only driven it about 10 miles since.
