#1 of 1 '08 3.2 TT Quattro -- changing spark plugs. by drdunlop Dec 04, 2007 (10:46 am)
Upon recently purchasing this new vehicle, I was thrilled to see the spark plugs sitting right out in the open where I could easily change them myself. They were a royal pain to get to in my previous TT Quattro, an '02 1.8 twin turbo. However, the other day I looked more closely at them and there appears to be an individual coil or the like placed between each spark plug wire and the spark plug itself. This connection is solid as a rock with no hint of how the wire and the plug are to be separated. Can anybody tell me how to remove the plugs? Much appreciated. Doc
