Anyone have a link or how-to- change spark plugs on an '05 CTT? Shops are quoting $350 to change these which includes two hour labor. I tried searching on here but no reference to anyone changing their own spark plugs.

Thanks.

 

Anybody?

 

I changed the plugs and coil packs this weekend on my 2005 Turbo. It is definitely a DIY job. The hardest part is removing and putting on the passenger side engine cover.

1. Remove all 5 black plastic pieces that surround the engine bay area.
2. Remove engine brace on passenger side that's bolted to engine and lift out of way "big screw."
3. Remove 4 torx bolts that hold the receptacle piece for the engine brace and move out of way.
4. Remove the three silver engine covers that cover the coils/plugs.
5. Unscrew torx screw that holds the coil pack in place and pull out.
6. Remove spark plug with extension.
7. Put in new spark plug.
8. Put in new coil.

I strongly suggest replacing the coil packs as well as they are known to crack over time. They are cheap enough to do as preventative maintenance.

Hope this helps!

 

I did the coil packs 2 weeks ago on a CS, it is deinately a DIY job.

 

Thanks! That's what I wanted to hear. About how long for the whole project? Do you have the torque specs?

 

I'll post the torque specs when I get to work tomorrow.

Happy to help.

 

is there a difference between the CTT and the CS?
i have an " air pump at the back that seems to be in the way on the left side.

does this need to be removed?
