The ignition wires need to be changed and I figured, I will change the spark plugs at the same time. I own this car for about 6 months only and this would be the first time I would be changing the spark plugs in this Passat. What worries me is that two plugs in the middle (#2 and #3) seem hard to get to, being located under an intake manifold.
Could anyone with BTDT experience post any helpful hints? The Bentley in its arrogance skips the spark-plug replacement procedure, probably assuming it is self evident. I happen to have heard the horror stories about the spark plugs broken during the removal attempts and don't want to add another one. Having to remove the intake manifold to get to the spark plugs seems too silly. So, I assume it is a normal socket with a u-joint connection to the ratchet extension. Am I right?
Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Andrew
