[@plquick]

Great video. I like your straight-to-the point approach without the often found pontification about the wisdom and virtue of plug and coil maintenance. I changed plugs and coils today. Your right, the coil bolts can easily cross thread. I felt one trying to, so I used a different one in it's place. Over the decades I've learned that once the threads start cross thread, they'll keep trying. Using one of the other bolts no will often remedy this, but ya gotta be real careful with both the offending screw hole and bolt or you could strip both, which causes a lot of heartache, money to fix and foul language. I immediately noticed a difference in performance - smoother idle, better pick up. ONE HEADS UP... when you button every thing up and start the cart, you're dash may light up like a Christmas tree. It happens every time I reconnect my battery. Drive the car a few miles and every thing should reset and lights will disapper. If you're low tire pressure light stays on, park the car for 45-60 minutes to let the tires cool off. Locate your tire pressure reset button - my car is a 2016 VW Jetta, so it's inside my glove box, yours may be somewhere else. Press and hold the button for a few seconds til the light goes out. Your owner's manual or Google can help, too.

[@grind-it-out]

I appreciate the comment. Yea I try to deliver things straight. I hope you didn’t strip a coil bolt. Gotta be easy on those. But thanks again for watching 😊

Good idea. Thank u

[@Veewdsn]

I have a 2017 TSI SE Passat. Coming from a woman, THIS really helped me out. I took my car to the VW dealership with my engine shaking & they charged me $330 for a diagnostic test & changed out my filter. They didn't mention anything about a tune up. I was told I needed a New secondary Air Flow injection sensor/hose. That plus labor will cost me $840. I've never had my spark plugs changed out. This video makes me confident that even I can do this. TY... Wish you were in my home town Sir 🙏🏾😂🥰

[@grind-it-out]

I really appreciate the compliment. Happy to know I could help. It’s not difficult as long as you take your time. The dealership is so expensive. I’m not a mechanic but I try to do as much as possible myself. Sometimes those air flow sensors will cause vibrations. But around 60k you should change the spark plugs. Thanks again and I’m glad I could help 😎💯

[@gilt4523]

Did changing the spark plugs work?

[@Veewdsn]

@@gilt4523 It was time for a tune up, but I also have an oil leak, so that has to be fixed, along with the airflow sensor. The engine light came back on last week. TYSM for checking back with me. I'll keep you posted. Taking the car back to the shop in a few weeks. Blessings🙏🏾🥰

[@grind-it-out]

Great video. I was having such a time getting the wires that connect to the coil removed. Other videos I have watched weren't as detailed as what you've done here. I finally got my plugs and coils replaced today. I was just a little behind the maintenance schedule........ran plugs for 211+k miles. Just started noticing lower gas mileage and a little hesitation. Thanks again for your video.

Thanks for the ultimate compliment. I have the same issue with other videos sometimes. The small details. I’m really happy I could help. Thanks for watching 😁

[@markosborne7776]

Great video. It helped this task go much easier. The biggest issue I had though was with the connectors. I actually ended up breaking one of them. I was at 125,000 miles and changed the plugs because it was misfiring. That corrected the problem.

[@grind-it-out]

Thanks for watching and yes those connections are really fragile. Good to know your misfire is fixed. I’m about to do a video on replacing the ignition coil’s. It’s the same process It’s just time to replace them. Thanks again 👍🏼😎💯

[@Immovableobjects]

Great video. Helped me a ton. Some helpful things I picked up from other videos for those running into trouble: Let your car run for a bit before you get to work. Makes it easier to pull out the ignition coils. For the electrical connectors or whatever they’re called, you can also use a 90° pick tool (watch the FCP Euro vid on changing ignition coils + spark plugs) and slide it under the plastic lip and it’ll lift plastic and it’ll all slide right off. I used the flathead for two coils and the pick for the other two tighter ones.

[@grind-it-out]

Good advice. I appreciate it. Thanks for the comment! 💯😎👍🏼.

[@stanvelez119]

What a video, really good and easy to follow. The first spark plug looked incredible, no carbon. I would have liked to see the remaining plugs as well as a closeup of the electrodes. Thank you. By the way this is a cake walk compared to changing spark plugs on V8 305 !

[@Billcozaaa]

Hey sir thanks a lot, used this video to help me complete my repair 👍. Just of note, I think with these vehicles you should change the ignition coil along with the spark plugs. Mine were extremely hard to pull and I ended up pulling the top off, so I went ahead and got a ride to auto zone and bought a 4 pack. For anyone having the issue with stuck ignition coils, I’d recommend pulling the top off and blowing compressed air into that rubber stem and they will eventually pop out. They might have been harder for me to remove because I did this job at 81,500 miles.

[@grind-it-out]

Yea at 80 k they are probably pretty stuck. I think 50-60 is the magic number. I’m so happy you were able to figure it out. That’s where the dielectric grease comes in. They will always remove easily. But at least you got it done. Thanks again for watching I appreciate it much. 👍🏼😎💯

@@grind-it-out My car then misfiring here in there. To the point that my engine light turns on and off. And it can be 2 to 3 weeks before the light turns back on or off. do you think changing the spark plugs will fix the issue. Because the codes are stating that is a misfire. I also just subscribed to your channel on

[@grind-it-out]

Thanks for subscribing. I appreciate it. It could be your coil packs. I always do plugs and coils first then if that doesn’t fix the problem it’s possibly a bigger issue. Plugs and coils are normal maintenance anyway so I’d do that even if it doesn’t fix the issue. Gotta start with basics then narrow down the problem. Find out what cylinder is misfire then swap the coil with another coil and see if the misfire changes to the other cylinder. If that the misfire changes cylinder then you know it’s coils.

Great video! This might help someone. The top half my coils detached from the bottom half. What we did was pull up on the rubber by about an inch, stuck a long flathead screwdriver in there and fished it around from a couple of different angles. This caused them to pop out no problem. Some took more effort than others.

Mine where at 0.040 😂 smh 🤦‍♂️ we installed performance spark plugs gapped at 0.024 - 0.026 witch is what Apr recommended after tuning. And I ran them at 0.040 for over 15k miles on the stage 1 tune 😂 it feels so much better in my opinion. I feel like it has a bit more power now but it’s only been about 5 hours haha… I did them today and tbh I think they were the original ones and I genuinely believe that this was the first time they have ever been changed. I’m at just over 96,500 miles

[@grind-it-out]

Yea definitely if you have as stage 1 the gap can change. I was just trying to show original OEM stuff. I’m sure you noticed a huge difference. I appreciate you watching the video. Keep in touch. Keep on doing mods. Thanks 👍🏼

[@Nunyaknow22]

Just a heads up about the coils…they don’t need to be put back in the same order that you take them out. A coil is a coil…unlike the old distributor cap/wire combo which required the wires to be put back exactly how the came off….also just a tip…if you ever have a an issue with a cylinder misfire, you can diagnose it by moving the coil of the misfiring cylinder to a different cylinder…if the misfire then moves to that other cylinder you now know that you need a new coil. If it doesn’t change then you know it could be the spark plug or a different issue…great video…keep up the great work.😊

Just gave me hope on changing my spark plugs and coils myself and save a bunch of money but how do I know which coil is bad ?

[@grind-it-out]

You can do it. As far as the coil. Switch it with another. If you get a bad cylinder reading it should change to the one that’s got the bad coil. If the second coil is bad, switch it with the first one. That will verify it’s a bad coil. If nothing happens then it’s a cylinder issue or bad plug.

[@JimGrady67]

Awesome video! When you pilled the coil you mentioned it's dry, what is the cause if you see oil? My son's car even had a couple drops come out of the coil at the plug. Not looking good?

[@grind-it-out]

Not sure about the oil. Maybe a piston ring is going out. But yes they are typically dry. I hope it’s not serious. I’d replace the coil pack at least. I’m about to replace mine with upgraded APR coils. I’ll drop a video in about a week. But yea. Let me know how it goes. Thanks again for watching 👍🏼😎💯

[@grind-it-out]

If the plug on the inside has oil it’s probably a bad piston ring or something of that nature. Not sure about the coil pack itself. Just a wild guess.

[@house_church]

The coil packs are notorious for failure. They are not very expensive. VW/Audi has upgraded these over the past few years. Latest ones are from Japan. Consider replacing them if you have gotten 70k miles or 5 years usage. It's good insurance and you'll still have your old ones, if in a pinch.

[@grind-it-out]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment very much. I’ve recently purchased new coil packs and I will do a video on that when I find the time but my focus on this video was to just show how to change the spark plugs. But yes, I do agree that around 70 to 80,000 miles. People should probably look into changing the coil packs.

Despite the really helpful and well done video, this project appears to be a bust for me. The coils seem to be so badly fused that I wasn't able to remove a single one.

I spent another couple of minutes trying to remove the rubber boot, but had to give up and put everything back together. There is no indication (yet) that I've done any harm, but now I'm going to have to let the professionals do it and hope my assessment is correct.

[@grind-it-out]

No no no. Just get new coil packs. Pull the old ones out even if they seperate. If they separate just make sure you get it all out. Replace with new ones. Good ones are only around $160 for the set. A shop May charge a lot. Let me know. It’s not difficult at all. 😎💯

[@grind-it-out]

Use pliers or whatever to pull remaining part of coil out. That’s why I’m the video I stress putting dielectric grease on the coils so they don’t get stuck. But pull them out. No damage should happen. It’s just a metal tube down to the spark plug. Seriously save yourself money and just get them out even if in pieces. 💯

[@RavenAnn95]

Well, not wanting to give up, I have ordered the coil pack and I'll work on it again tomorrow.

[@RavenAnn95]

I wasn't able to get back to it again until today, but success! Once I got the coil packs out, it went smoothly from there. Each plug was pretty corroded and each one felt as though it was covered in glue when I finally got them out. I suspect the plugs were put in with silicone grease vs dielectric grease. Whatever it was, it had solidified and created a bond to each of the plug caps.

[@grind-it-out]

Nice to hear. Silicone grease and dielectric are pretty much the same. But none was ever applied I think. Most people don’t apply it. But yea. If you keep at it they will eventually come out. Coil packs are such an easy thing. I could never imagine paying for it. Good job!

[@sydneyfranke]

do you recommend changing the wires too?

[@grind-it-out]

Not unless they are damaged. Plugs first. Then coils then check wiring if all else fails. Thanks so much for watching. Please consider subscribing 👍🏼

Ft/lbs. yes. Thanks for watching 👍🏼💯😎

[@afewgoodmen228]

So the spark plugs are preset?

[@grind-it-out]

The are supposed to be. But it’s good to check. 1 little bump can change the gap. Always check 😁. You said preset. I assume that’s what you are referring too. Thanks for watching

[@afewgoodmen228]

Yes sir. Thank you

Anytime 🤛🏼

I can't get the plastic clips to come loose shit is pissing me off lol

[@grind-it-out]

Press and be careful. Pull back to open clip. They break super easy. Junk!

[@dgjav]

removing the connector was the worse part

[@grind-it-out]

Yes. It’s delicate. Those little clips you gotta be careful with. But thanks for watching and if you would consider subscribing that would help out a lot. Thanks so much 👍🏼

General price for pack of new plugs for 5cyl passat ?

[@grind-it-out]

I paid like $15 each I think. Not like the old days. It’s crazy. Look for a coupon code. Order online. Thanks for asking and watching 😊

[@lacedhemp]

@@grind-it-out oh ok. For a whole install i got quoted 3-700$ at Firestone. But he didn’t kno the specifics of my passat but def not blindly handing that amount over

[@grind-it-out]

No way. Get the plugs and do it yourself definitely. That’s why I made the video. I hate paying for simple stuff. If u have any questions about the installation I’m here 😊

Yup i broke that plastic connection 😂

[@grind-it-out]

Hopefully you still got it off. It’s not a big deal if it broke. It will still snap back on. 💯👍🏼😎

@@grind-it-out thanks for the video. It’s on there but it’s broken so there’s nothing left to secure it.

[@grind-it-out]

Pull on it. I think it should still snap on. If not as long as you have a good connection you should be ok. 💯. They make things so cheap. It’s ridiculous 🤣

My 10mm bolt is stuck to the other 10mm bolt with the ground wired stuck in the middle

[@grind-it-out]

Don’t break it. Use 2 wrenches. Hold one with a wrench and use another wrench or socket to remove it. Spray with WD-40 also. Let me know. But be careful they break easily

[@darrensanner4340]

@@grind-it-outhow did you get a wrench in between both 10mm nuts? A standard wrench is too tall.

[@grind-it-out]

I have a small set of metric wrenches. It works fine. If not get some needle nose vice grips or pliers and that should be enough to hold it while loosening the top nut

[@slinkytonii719]

What tool is that to get the spark plugs out

[@grind-it-out]

A 5/8 deep well spark plug socket. Pretty standard socket. I have a magnetic one I got from autozone for $10. But you can find them anywhere and it doesn’t have to be magnetic.

Watching this video trying to change that oil separator it went bad at 92k. My coils do not want to come out

Sometimes you have to tear them out and get new ones. Yikes!

[@russlumley4974]

Just went to do my wife's 80 thousand none of the boots want to come out. Dealer or who ever changed before must have not put any dielectric grease on them.

[@grind-it-out]

I always use it to keep moisture out and ensure a better connection. I’m no profesional but I always use it. Plus it would probably prevent them from being stuck as well. I hope you found my video useful. Thanks so much for watching 😁

[@user-zo8oy1rf5v]

I've got stuck coilpacks on my 1.8TSI lol

[@grind-it-out]

Try to gently twist them. Now you see why dielectric grease helps. Just be careful when doing it let me know. Why you’re at it, do u mind subscribing to the channel? It helps a lot. Please let me know how it works out.

[@russlumley4974]

Graphite on the threads

[@grind-it-out]

Yes sir

[@bonhamdockery2059]

What if it doesn’t come out

[@grind-it-out]

The plug or the coil pack?

[@grind-it-out]

If it’s the coil packs then you need to pull like hell but they will probably break but that’s ok. They need to be replaced with new ones anyway. Use pliers or whatever to get them out. The rubber gets stuck from heat over time. Just get it all out make sure everything is clean before putting new ones in

[@bijucarcare3811]

There are fake NGK's flooded in the market and how do you know it's genuine 😁

Well if you doubt the authenticity you can get them from NGK directly
