VW Jetta/ Golf MK4 Spark Plugs WITHOUT INTAKE REMOVAL (Super Quick)!

[@miltonlightfoot9091]

Much simpler... Thank you. My manifold doesn’t want to come off which is a hidden blessing. I truly appreciate you. I’d love to see more vids on this same vehicle. My next project is the flex pipe on the exhaust. See you again.

[@Hauudio]

I would like a video of that too

[@frankhoward7645]

Bad news. The flex pipe and the catalytic converter are one piece.

[@gamingafterdark4113]

I was in the middle of taking the manifold off when I seen this vid thanks man saved me so much time

[@ethanphillips7522]

EXACTLY! i Damn near stripped a screw behind the manifold trying to get it off and I was like “there has to be another way” 😂😂😂

[@hotrodaallbbaa2343]

Just changed my nephews golf thought I would need to take off manifold but look at it it was so easy. Thanks for the video.

[@multiomer1997]

i was watching a video about removing the manifold, but fortunately someone replied, it doens't need to remove the manifold. Thanks for the explain!

[@JM-bb8xi]

Thank you, people winge about working on Jettas, hell I replaced my entire A/C system on my 99 jetta growling less than half the guys just changing their spark plugs! Thanks!

[@daved5738]

Outstanding! I only had to go spend a total of $25 for the socket U-Joint and the angled needle nose pliers - it all worked like a charm and I feel like a pro! Thank you so much for making this video

[@40colby]

Awesome! Thanks for the video. It was a little tricky and that 2nd sparkplug took me about 15-20 minutes as the area is so cramped to be able to move the spark plug cover and still fit in the new spark plug, but using a long screwdriver to help position the sparkplug helped. Thanks for saving me around $100 in labor! : )

[@jeromegabriel1256]

Definitely gonna follow your way bro 👊 thanks for your time making a tutorial.

[@ZeldaIsMyLove]

Simple! Just buy a very situation specific tool! Truthfully, buying the right tool is always the answer. Good video thanks

[@CrazyKittens1000]

Awesome video! You saved me from some very expensive mechanic repairs. I'm very grateful for you, keep up that good work! 🎉

[@KimberlyOurlian]

the first vid i saw he was taking off the intake manifold, i said to myself, no way guess i'll have to get a mechanic. this is definitely something i can tackle, thanks!

[@masonpugh3637]

A 156000 miles that's excellent minus got a 100 and 99000 and I had mine changed thanks bro you save me a time a money

[@amirmurray9916]

This step is perfect and it works!!..i can testify to that...tho it does look tricky it will save yu peace of mind and time when avoiding the manifold..get a wobble extension and youre good ...great vid very self and step explanatory. 👍👍

Definitely do more car videos!

Thanks brother!! You explained the perfect. Got it done cause of your video!

Did on my 99 Jetta 2.0, Silver too 😉 Thank you for sharing this video! 👍✌️

[@vicecoldyt9763]

I’m doing a black 1999 Jetta shortly after watching his video lol!

[@otarsulava]

@@vicecoldyt9763 I also recommend to change ignition coil and wires as well, not just spark plugs, it's easy, and if you can do these 3 more steps your Jetta will run WAY better: 1)Change air filter 2)Clean MAF sensor 3) Clean throttle body. NOTE! There are spray cleaners separately for MAF and Throttle, do NOT mix. Hope this helps...stay breeze

[@vicecoldyt9763]

@@otarsulava is it just one ignition coil I need to buy for the 2.0 ABA 1999 jetta? I’m having trouble finding the right one

[@otarsulava]

@@vicecoldyt9763 good point! Well, mine was 2.0 AEG and yes, it is just a one ignition coil, square shape, that connects 4 wires, you can not see it, it's behind the secondary air pump, you need to remove it first, holding on bolts... Search also on KZbin ,,how to" for that specific part, I'm sure someone should have uploaded...✌

[@vicecoldyt9763]

@@otarsulava thank you a ton! I will have to check it out and see which one it looks like. I am always double checking now I’m getting ABA parts and not AEG haha

[@sealyt1581]

a really good quality video! thanks

[@babyyoda4012]

Yeah GREAT VID! I saw one mech ( proff ?) Who lifted manifold and changed plug wires without explaining firing order and corresponding plug end positions .Misfiring codes on 2 & 3 so B4 looking at injectors I'll try the plugs! I got the gear , but have an extra package over manifold from the Bio Gas rail ;-( Gonna try it ! Wish Me luck! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@itmightbeoctober8789]

Looking at dis video since I stripped a bolt in the back for the intake manifold , only replaced the outer 2 sparkplugs about 2 months ago

[@Hauudio]

You are a blessing!

[@granderondeproductions3286]

Do you have a video for the coil pack and spark plug cables?

[@vincentmitchell4272]

thank you for the video - could you please tell me the kind of spark plugs you used? i didn't see it listed below - also - other videos said not to use the dielectric grease just wondering why the discrepancy - and, if used, is it used on top where it connects with the wire? - sorry for my novice questions - will be my first plug change - 2001 VW golf 2.0

[@ToastyDIY]

Anyone who says not to use dielectric grease is ignorant lol. It protects against corrosion, rust and water. It's great for electrical components. You may be thinking of antisieze? I definitely don't think it's needed, however a small amount isn't bad and may help get them out later on. I only recommend going with OEM brands such as NGK, Bosch, etc. Don't ever touch autolite lol.

[@nidalhallani7906]

Saved us time ! Can you show us the brake pads changing ? Thanx

[@ToastyDIY]

I can do a brake pad video sometime! On most modern cars it's fairly universal with the exception of cars with disk e brakes in the rear and drum brakes.

Hey! An important question… what says the sticker on the side of your timing belt cover? The one that barely can see.. what it says?

[@fearlessfaith6325]

Is rockauto okay to buy spark plugs from?

[@alexkills]

You saved me a ton of time. My swivel socket was finicky though and ended up getting runny grimy oil on the electrodes several times that I had to clean off because I missed the #2 spark plug socket several times, but this saved a bit more time than removing the manifold. Thanks!

[@mwint1982]

Did you check the spark plug gap? What's it come set to? What should it be? Thx

[@danielvalencia2041]

Yes brother that’s what I am looking for thanks

[@ositaifeanyi7336]

I need to know how to fix plug wires

[@EchoAthletics]

Just got a quote for this job in San Diego july 2023 for $800

[@rbemuscle6058]

Brilliant!! Thank you so much my friend!!

[@LeonardsVarslavans]

Can anyone link those exact spark plugs for uk buyers?

[@ttshaker1]

Thanks I will try to do like you , I hope

[@დათო-ჭ6ჭ]

My Volkswagen Jetta 1999 2.0 works very poorly at low revs and disappears what will be to blame I changed the throttle and still it is

[@IAmGabe777]

Do you need to torque the spark plugs with a torque wrench when putting In The news ones ?

[@ToastyDIY]

@@IAmGabe777 if you want to be precise sure. Otherwise typically you tighten it a couple half turns of the ratchet after you hand tighten it, and you'll feel it get tighter. Then tighten it about half a turn again and it should really snug down. That's the feeling of the crush washer getting crushed to keep compression in.

[@IAmGabe777]

@@ToastyDIYthanks, was also wondering where do apply the diuretic grease? On my Camry I just applied it on the inside of the wire boots that connect back into the top of the spark plugs. Should I do it the same for my Jetta?

[@frankhoward7645]

I have a 2003 2.0 Jetta. VW must have changed the boot design because they are so tall, they hit the manifold before clearing the plug. Manifold has to come off.

[@wyattbrennan6809]

Whats the part number on thos plugs

[@A1Googler]

This does not work without disconnecting some wiring and hoses. This only worked cleanly for this make/model Jetta.

[@cincoseistres]

i came here speciffically for the two difficult bolts and it doesnt tell how to remove bummer IT SHOULD HAVE SHOWN HOW ,THE ONE BEHIND THE ac compressor is a pain also

[@gameaddict6969]

I came here hoping to see how EASY you say it is when my automatic 2.0 98 jetta gl, the manifold is so much more tighter to the wire harness. Making it impossible to do the wires without taking the manifold off just for stupid wires. If you claim its so easy then why didn't you take them off in the video... Everybody says its so easy but they never do it them selves.

[@jetals8342]

if your jetta is a 98 then it would be a mk3 not a mk4
