I did this exact install 3 weeks ago..running so much smoother at idle, burning cleaner and looks great! Definitely recommend!

Nice!

Does it require ecu to "learn"

​@@ecstuningSo how old were your Coils & Plugs? My Coils in GTI Clubsport been there for 7 years since factory & plugs went 2000 km. Switching to German Bremi coils though & NGK Laser double platina sparks, so at least hoping for smoother idle, bit quicker response, bit cleaner combustion.

[@macauleyh5]

​@@tredfxman I change them every 10-15k because they're cheap and an engine isn't

[@BradleySevenfold]

Even for the simple jobs I already know how to do I like to watch a tutorial first, just got my hands on a S3 8V with the pre GPF EA888.3 so the 310PS one, pretty much the same as the 1.4TSI ACT Ibiza FR I had, thanks ECS! ☺️

[@samgab]

Wow, that is a sweet looking engine bay, with all that carbon. I want to do all these exact same little mods to my S3 8V.

Thanks for this video! A thorough yet simple explanation was fantastic.

Purchasing tomorrow thanks!

[@wanabtkd]

I read horror stories in blogs about doing the spark plugs and coil packs who knew all you needed was the good ol Schwaben tools

[@mailjabber]

The coil packs looked pre-lubed with the green grease. No need for extra dielectric grease!

[@dtma5348]

You are correct sir, well made point!!!

[@eeiko321]

I prefer to put a bit of dielectric grease on the ceramic part before putting it in, this way shown will get them on the metal part of the spark terminal.

[@alejandroruizvelazquez265]

Hey!!! Could you recommend the tools needed to work in the installation of Inlet, muffler delete and Diverter Valve spacer, please? It could be useful

[@danielabbate9001]

Thanks for the help bro you saved me 200 dollars

[@ecstuning]

Glad it helped!

[@Ivaschuk94]

Great and definitely helpful video, thanks! Though need your help, what are those wires - "eyelets" (from 8:35 - 8:55) do? I have 2017 Audi A6 with 2.0 - EA888 Gen 3 too, and one of these "eyelets" got broken - a wire come off from a metal ring, how bad is this and where I can find a replacement for this please? Thank you!

[@sometimes5207]

It is the ground for the coil pack circuit. It's very bad that it's broken--you'll have an open circuit or high resistance on that circuit and you're engine is likely misfiring. You need to have the wire professionally repaired--likely 1-1.5hours of labour the dealer will charge.

[@JuanRodriguez-py1ko]

Can I use the same plugs for a 21 tiguan sel premium r-line? It's shock. Is It the same set up

[@graceko4889]

Amazing. Thank you!!!!

[@urbys6382]

Is same moments for 2.0 tsi 190hp? Thx

[@dchrish]

I just got my kit yesterday. Once these are put in. Do I half to clear the check engine light or will it go away once the coils and spark plugs installed

[@user-cy1rd4ih3z]

For mk8 gti cs what spark plugs nkg have to put can you tell me ????

[@Florida_Boi_321]

30nm (22ft lbs), feels tighttt on those plugs. 😰😮

[@joshlawson5621]

yes bro

[@je6476]

Would a piggyback tune necessitate replacing with colder plugs? Or is that overkill?

[@louienicolosi8288]

What torque wrench are you using for the 30nm?

[@jeffrock21]

2017 GLI w/ apr plus tune..... I see these spark plugs are one heat range colder than OE.... Will that be ok!?!? or stick with OEM and less expensive plugs... hmmm....

[@ryanbogdanski4736]

Pretty sure you need to disconnect your battery when replacing coil packs. Might want to add that part..

[@thebigbosss1000]

What do you recommend for a 2012 Volkswagen CC 2.0t sport

[@TOOLAPC68]

do you guys still sell that engine cover, the carbon fiber one? that looks super nice.

[@bernira9243]

Why do you have to replace the Coil Packs? Do they have any wearing?

[@ecstuning]

Weaken windings inside a coil eventually break, creating resistance for the spark going through them. It's good to replace them at 100k even if they haven't failed.

[@bernira9243]

@@ecstuning ah okay so its not needed to replace them everytime you replace the sparks? Thanks for the information! :-)

[@mjwey0317]

Forgot those dress up studs.

[@DSW_Racing]

What do you do if the boot doesn’t come out even with the tool? Lol. 🤦‍♂️

[@a14koolcor]

So, why did you add diode grease into the coil pack?

[@ephatcher60018]

To prevent the rubber boot from attaching to the spark plugs. They can get stuck and the next time you pull the coil the rubber boot can separate.

[@a14koolcor]

@@ephatcher60018 so.........I didn't add the grease...........will it be a problem if it does attach to the spark plug? And is it too late? I changed out spark plugs 7-8 months ago

[@ephatcher60018]

@@a14koolcor some coils come pre greased. Worst thing that can happen is the boot coming off, if I doesn't tear you can just put it back on.

[@chrisroberts9860]

On the bottom of your coil pack removal tool is a ‘mandrel’

[@JimBean365]

The engine looks cool but that is a lot of carbon.
