Spark Plug change on 991.2 Turbo S

We were able to get the last coil out by just removing the turbo hanger bolt and nut.

i need to do this, so you removed the rear bumper and the intercoolers to get to do this? I have to remove the bumper anyways to do some upgrades: new intercoolers (bigger ones), Y pipe, plenum, high flow air filter. SO i will do spark plugs at same time!

I’ve heard it can be done without removing intercoolers but i think it would be way harder. Yes, bumper cones off. Definitely take care of the plugs while in there!! You’ll be right there anyway. Good luck!

@@protectandswerve I did this just now! With the turbo air inlet and outlet disconnected, it was highly doable! I did all 6 spark plugs. The passengers side was way easier and less things in the way.

@@porsche1971 Nice job!! Congrats! Yes, the passenger side was way easier!!

HI what tool did you use to get the torx10 behind the turbo to remove the heat shield ... thanks

[@protectandswerve]

Good question. Hard to remember at this point, the process we had to go through. I was thinking we used a rachet wrench of some kind if it’s what I think you’re referring to. I remember something about the one bolt being difficult to reach I think. I’m sorry I can’t remember exactly.

It was easy, a closed end 8 or 9 mm wrench

Hello I don’t can remove 1 ignition coil on driver side how can I remove that ?

[@protectandswerve]

It will come out. We didn’t think it would either but it did. You have to clock it / turn it a specific way and you will have to “flex” it a bit as well. I think I remember the head where the clip / plug goes in being aimed towards the front of the car. Maybe more towards the drivers door I think. Either way, we messed with it a good bit and it finally cleared everything by clocking it just right and flexing it back towards the back of the car I think. Good luck! Hope this helps.
