It isnt a 5 minute job.

You have to take the black access cover off so you can remove the coils. Unsure whether you have to remove the "turbo intercooled" black crossover pipe (dont think so), once you have the plugs out, just gap them down using feeler gauges, you'll need around 1 hour at least I reckon.

Depends also on how many beers you drink while working too! :lol:

You do have to remove the Aluminium intake assy to gain access to the plastic coil retainer/cover.Once you have removed these items be careful when removing the coils.When you go to pull them out remember not to lever them out on the ends where the connector plugs in as they break quite easy.Once you have all 6 coils out you will find that number 1 to 5 are easy to remove.Enjoy yourselves when trying to remove number 6.Once you've figured out a way to remove it and need to refit it a handy trick is to either use a peice of vacuum hose(about 6" long) or a conventional type spark plug lead.Push the plug into the vacuum hose (or spark plug lead) and lower the plug into the hole.Then simply twist the hose/lead until the plug wont do up any further.Pull the hose/lead off the plug and tighten using a plug socket and ratchet.

Also when refitting the plastic coil cover make sure that the little rubber caps on the underside of the cover are all there as they help hold the coils on the plugs.
