How to Change the Spark Plugs in a 1.6 Skoda Octavia (2001)

A brief look at the problems in attempting to change the Spark Plugs in a 1.6 Skoda Octavia (2001)

[@100const]

This is the same engine as in my Audi A3 - I had hoped to see you 'change the spark plugs' but you decided to just talk about it instead- Thanks, will see if I can see how it is done on another video!

[@harfri]

Same as my Golf 4 1999 aswell

[@jaiho314]

same engine on a3 2006 BSE engine. I can do the spark plug change with ease and I am not a motor mechanic, all you need is balanced mind and calm nature. Easy job.

Same as my Octavia A4 2000

You don't have to take the inlet manifold off to do the plugs. They are still a pain to do , but with an extension bar with a wobble socket of the right size for the plugs on the end, you can get to them without removing the actual inlet manifold.

[@100const]

I asked a mechanic and he showed me how to remove the plug with an articulated socket that allows you to get in without dismantling anything

[@celestinebenson4700]

pls how can I get the socket

[@mrthomas2000]

please show me somehow because I am facing the same problem with my VW Golf mk5. How can I get close to them? From the bottom?

[@kshak3125]

Can you show me this socket please

[@harryfaber]

Glad I am not the only one!

[@ThePunter29]

If you can get the HT leads off then you don't need to remove the manifold. If the leads come off then a combination of various types of socket extensions and wobbly bits should gain access to the plugs. However sometimes if the leads are stuck on tight it's virtually impossible to find a way to get them off without removing the manifold.

Have the same engine on my vw golf mk4 2002. Please how did you reach those bolts?

[@calvernweedon8130]

You showed us how to remove Bolts!

[@luisgomez7019]

hello. Is it posible to change breathe (pcv) part?

[@menzi8217]

Was no need to remove those bolts in order to change the plugs

[@JuuneLaiert]

Did you also have to change the seal?

[@multiomer1997]

if you remove the inlet manifold then yes.

[@GARYSMIFF]

On my VW Touran ( BSE) I have got this down to 40 mins off and on with a plug change, but it is a fuck about!

[@kaulquappensocken]

What is the technical name of the motor? Is it a BFQ?

[@crittercritter2583]

Hoimar Kapenze it’s an AKL engine

[@lexiaontube]

And how this helps exactly?! Just wasted 4 minutes

[@l0ht]

I've done it without removing anyhing, just 4 hours of work and wrench with 2 extension and an u-joint.

[@otacdjeteta6126]

i've done it in like 30 mins...

[@kshak3125]

Can you show me a pic of this wrench how it looks like? Please

[@kshak3125]

@@otacdjeteta6126 How?

[@imax006]

I have this same shitty engine in my Mk4 Golf 1.6. Took me 3 hours to do a service. Now the car is for sale. If you want to buy it let me know.

[@samuel4833]

[@braah_emmanuel]

[@braah_emmanuel]

[@teamdrivealot8441]

Enligt Vag service ska man göra så men det betyder inte att det är enklare 😂, jag behövde inte ta av halva motorn för å byta töndstift 😂😂

[@uniquedeebaloyi]
