coil pack removal

[whiteoak]

Hi guys.Im looking to change my spark plugs on my 2013 1.4 tsi scirocco.However Im struggling to remove the coil packs even with the removal tool.They appear to be on really tightly and Im scared if I apply to much pressure I will do some damage.Does anybody have any tips on removing them please

Try some porridge for breakfast

Have you tried twisting it slightly back and forth as you tug it? Some girls have a good technique

I did a 2012 CAXA 1.4 tsi 122ps not so long ago, and i know what you mean!.

I was pulling so hard the front of the car lifted significantly. They did eventually come out with a lot of tugging.
The coil packs stick on the rubber boot - both on the rubber boot around the spark and on the spark plug hole in general.

As suggested if you can get any twisting action in first they should come out more easily - hard i know as they are in that stupid recessed plastic framework.

To prevent future sticking coat the porcelain part of the spark plug and the rubber seal on the coil with some dielectric silicon grease such as Dow Corning DC4.

All sorted now thanks.Like you say just twist and tug the coils about abit and they eventually do move
