How to Replace 1.4tsi spark plugs VW Audi

[@chrisburton7776]

This is possibly the most thorough and helpful car maintenance clip I have ever watched. The detail on the clips working was so good that I got all the bits off with confidence in no time. For The pulling tool was I found an old metal curtain pole arm that fitted perfectly…a bit of wiggling and out they popped. The only improve could be that when you insert the new spark plug first rotate it anti-clockwise and when you feel it drop you can then turn clockwise and tightened with confidence of no cross threading..thanks again

You are a Champ! I got the job done in 15min. All thanks to you buddy.

[@actionman862]

Thanks, just did this on my wifes Jetta. Could not believe how hard it was to lift the coils up! I used the cable tie method, but broke a couple before they budged. I had to use a length of 3/4 pipe as a lever and placed blocks of wood as a fulcrum.

[@nathansstuff1547]

Well this will be useful when I change my coils in a couple days. Neighbour's a mechanic, but it seems to just get put off more and more, so decided to just do it myself.

[@Muffinpopski]

Wow what a ridiculous design, such little access to the coils. Mine were really difficult to get out, took me a good hour messing around with various methods. Ended up using cable ties and then leveraging with a screwdriver. Peice of pipe also broke right at the rubber grommet, just completely hard brittle plastic. Luckily had the right sized hose lying around to cut a replacement peice. Thanks for the video.

[@johnkhomari4940]

Ridiculous design indeed. Spent so much time with the spark plugs than needed 😢

[@Bu11e7x]

Hi there please respond if you can, at 8:07 of the video you was talking about that tube which is very fiddly, mine broke because of the stupid rubber gromit you said. What is the part number of that tube i cannot find it anywhere. do i need to buy the whole breather assembly because of that silly tube 😢

[@joegoldenfeld8728]

This was really helpful thank you for sharing your knowledge just upgraded the plugs on a mk2 fabia vrs. Put in 4 denso iridium plugs car is running very beautifully now I did slightly split thr hose with the rubber grommit at the end I put some tape around it I hope I got away with it

Great video, good attention to detail. Will use for my VW T-Roc plug replacement as couldn't find specific one for the T-Roc. Note....The T-Roc has 1.5 TSI so only used for coil pack plug disconection method.

[@FourRingsAuto]

T-roc will have a different engine to this.

[@gedormerod6367]

@@FourRingsAuto Hi, yes 1.5 TSI, I really just wanted the info on disconnecting the plugs from the coil packs, not doing the job just yet but have just tried and successful. Little bit different but same principle. Thanks

[@nvk3030]

For those that dropped the grommet 8:10 this is the part number that you need: V03C103638B Where I am, you can only get this from the dealer - no aftermarket shops have this part. Cost around 11 EUR per piece. Good luck everyone and have fun!!

[@kykykykykkkkyy250]

Anyone trying to get that grommet out at the back, i recommend you grab the front of the grommet with needle nose pliers with one hand and push it out with your fingers on other hand from the back of it!

[@FourRingsAuto]

This is a good technique that does indeed work. Dropping it down the engine is a massive inconvenience!!!

[@kykykykykkkkyy250]

@@FourRingsAuto your video was pretty helpful, when garages change the spark plugs. They miss the pipe at the back! Thanks

[@lewisjude8549]

Hi mate I got to the but where your supposed to not loose the gromit and I lost it what’s the name and where can I find it

[@GagandeepKaur-lj6nc]

Can you make a video of intake valve cleaning for this engine. I couldn't find the one for this engine that has intake manifold on firewall side.

[@ShiVam-pl7jd]

My Skoda Rapid 1.4 TSI 2016 shows pending codes p0303 and p0304 plugs 3 and 4 cylinder misfire. It hesitates some time when idle for too long and misses the beat during acceleration. I will try changing the spark plugs and see if it works. Thanks for the info buddy.

[@TsatsoSter]

Did it fix the issue?

[@-._.-._.-]

Glad i found you/this!

[@Sigtrygg_Gale.]

Thanks for the vid, changing my plugs tomorrow will follow this 👌

[@fearful.adventure]

Did you manage to get the coils out without breaking them?

[@alexanderheling2057]

If the scan tool shows that the problem is cylinder number 1 is it okay to switch coil covers to see if the misfire is in a different cylinder? Or do the coil covers have to be specific to each cylinder?

[@FourRingsAuto]

Yes swap it if you like. Doesn't matter which one goes where.

[@alexanderheling2057]

@@FourRingsAuto thanks for the reply, you channel is great. Which brand of coil covers does VW recommend and or you be recommend? I have a 2016 Volkswagen Jetta S 4 Cylinders 1.4L DI Turbo DOHC. Curious to know which website do you recommend ordering from? Because usually it's cheaper than AutoZone etc.

[@ammartahir8697]

Thanks for the video. Took me forever to find this. Demonstration was good too.

[@FourRingsAuto]

No problem. Don't for get to subscribe, i do lots of 1.4tsi videos!

[@LG-tt2mi]

Any suggestions on how to loosen the coil pack, prior to lifting it? I can't get them to lift out at all, they seem to be stuck/seized... 🥴

[@kuldippanesar8767]

Great video, really well described. Will try and give this a go on the weekend. Was a bit daunting seeing all the pipe work on top of Coil pack 1, but with your video and advice should be a lot easier now. Quick question what plugs would you recommend, Bosch or NGK?

[@FourRingsAuto]

My personal car has NGK. But I went with a different heat range being stage 2. Bosch is fine. Can't remember which is used by VW Audi, some engines are ngk some bosch from factory.

[@mralpay8961]

Hello where you buy it this tools? helpful video thanks !

[@migmardi]

Thank you, this helped me to know that I had to unplug that hard line that goes to the back. The car I did it was a Golf EU Spec, you have to push the connector like in the big hose that attaches to the intake air pipe

[@kajakas7779]

Thank you mate!!! I broke the plastic tube connection, then pressed play right when you said this plastic will break off 🥲🤣 Cheers

it's very easy with the right tools, especially the one to press the clutch because thats headache to put in bavk the mechatronic if u dont have it n u can jame the gear selector arms out of place(25mm)

[@atrakos]

Very helpful and comprehensive video. Could you please provide a link with the hook tool you use for removing coil? It's been difficult to find one such a hook tool in Greece. Thank you in advanced.

[@FourRingsAuto]

It was just a radiator pick. Yoy could try google radiator pick, or cotter pin puller. There is also a special tool for the job that can be bought from ebay or Amazon. Or loop a cable tie under coil pack and use that to pull them out.

[@samiismail8690]

Great video, very well described and shown. Could a faulty or on its way out ignition coil(s) cause stuttering and misfire around half throttle on a 1.4 tsi 5K1?

[@FourRingsAuto]

Yes but if it was a misfire you should be getting a flashing engine light.

[@adrianstacey5484]

What are the revisions for this engine ?

[@gilbertdirksz9802]

Hi can you help me?? Can you tell me wath kind of spark plug do i have to use i my scirocco 2012 i just buy one

[@eponymous7910]

How often are the ignition coils deemed to be cactus when you change the plugs? I've done 90,000 kms and am considering replacing all 4

[@FourRingsAuto]

They are generally only replaced when there is an issue such as a misfire. However it wouldn't be a bad thing to replace them and keep the originals as spares. Only use genuine or equivalent parts such as bosch. No ebay parts should be fitted!

[@billeadie7387]

well if you follow this guys example and leave a hole straight into the cylinder coz he has removed the spark plug whilst still taking other parts off then you may have no engine if something drops into the cylinder!!

[@darthalu]

the grommet how does it look? is it a O ring type thing? because i don't know if i lost it or not i have the pipe and a pipe fitting on there. and if it's just to keep it tight wouldn't one of those steel ring tighters do the job?

[@FourRingsAuto]

It's a rubber piece that goes inside the end of the tube. Sometimes it is still of the pipe on the inlet that you pull it off of. If you don't have it it won't seal. You can't use a hose clamp on it!

[@darthalu]

@@FourRingsAuto do you have any pictures by any chance of it? i have a piece on the end that gets smaller which lets the hose slide on it. thanks for answering

[@darthalu]

@@FourRingsAuto hmm I do hear air flow, but can't seems to feel or see air escaping

[@darthalu]

sorry to bother you so much haha, but yeah there is still something on the other end it's indeed a rubber piece which starts as the about the same size of the hose then it has a bigger circle back to the hose size and then it gets smaller like a plug

[@FourRingsAuto]

That's the piece then.

[@borbs2]

Hi, great video! Unfortunately I broke the pipe you talk about in minute 4.59 while setting the tubings aside to reach the 4th spark plug. Do you know what does this pipe do? I'm not sure what to search for to get a new one...

[@63t4g]

I broke it too. Did you notice a strange cricket sound once a while? And engine hesitation only when the sound comes on? From my understanding, it vents the crankcase oil or pressure into the intake. I can't find any original replacement hose for it. Got to purchase the whole assembly. Search for 03C 103 175 K or 03C 103 474 J.

[@imisslewis]

Can I use those red Audi R8 coil packs on this engine or just 2.0 engines?

[@FourRingsAuto]

You can, but you have to swap the pins around in tye witing plugs as they are in a different order. Also the r8 and 2.0t coils are a lot taller than 1.4t so your engine cover either can't be refitted, or you put spacers on the mounts for it. You should also use the r8/2.0t coil mounting kit made for the 1.4t bg various manufacturers, as it bolts to the head of the 1.4 and makes the r8/2.0t coils fit as if they were in a there native heads. Rtmg sell them i believe.

[@christopherryder1204]

did you gap your spark plugs to 0.8mm yourself or were they pregapped?

[@FourRingsAuto]

They're usually pre gapped

[@christopherryder1204]

check the spark plug gap.

[@drewski1441]

As another commenter said, you should check the gap on your plugs. Also make sure the plugs were torqued correctly. Never hand tighten always use a torque wrench and get the correct torque spec.
