It isn't too bad a job, but there is a way to remove a portion of the intake manifold. Without going to the car it is a little tricky to explain. BUT it is airbox out, one or two pipes that connect up to the intake and then 4 or so bolts on the mid section.

Hola!
I am going to replace spark plugs tomorrow. I have had the cam cover off and the spark plug cover off to get at the coil packs, but it seems that the manifold is in the way and there would be no way to get at least two of them out without removing the manifold?
Is there anything I need to take into special consideration when doing this? Its an N/A.
My plan is to replace the ...

I was looking at the airbox pipe and wondering if I could take that off - its all stock in there.

After about 120,000 miles I went to change my spark plugs and but the tops of the HT leads came off in my hand when I tried to pull them out. Apart from having to get a new set of those it wasn't a difficult job. You don't have to take as ...

I got my leads from Keron that set me back £30 delivered. New from Mr T were 100+
Digsy, its the leads that go into the spark plugs yes =) I was told by Mr T that they were the same part for TT and N/A but Keron told me different, so im not sure of the official name right now, but its them cables

*gulp* this doesnt look like its a fun job LOL why did they put that manifold over the engine like that *tut*. The good thing is that I can use this as my argument when im trying to justify a TT purchase (grin)
After all this messing it better sort out my misfire lol
Edit - the more I read this and look at those documents and pictures.. the easier it seems
