How to replace the spark plugs on the Volkswagen Golf VI.

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 6, Golf VI, Golf 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Spark plugs

Let's see in this video how to replace the spark plugs on the Volkswagen Golf VI: we start by opening the hood of the car and removing the engine cover. Then, we disconnect the ignition coil connectors by gently lifting the wiring and moving it to the side. Next, we lift the ignition coils and remove them from the spark plug wells, numbering them to remember where they need to be repositioned. Clean the wells and then unscrew the spark plugs and take them out, being careful not to let them fall into the well. Apply anti-seize lubricant on the threads of the new spark plugs and grease on the terminals, then install them, again being careful not to let them fall into the well. Tighten them to 25 Nm, then put the coils back in place, reconnect the connectors, and finally replace the engine cover. Operation completed.
