what are those insane prices jesus christ
$410? You can get the same thing for about $130 to $170, minus the "dielectric grease"
The heat shields don't seem to fit on the larger coils. Should I leave them off or do something else.
FYI if you use a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter it's a lot easier to get at the plugs no universals needed.
Can this be done through the rear wheel well, after wheels are removed? I am able to do this on 991, but not sure if can be done on 996.
Are the extended bolts and spacers/washers not needed for the 2002-2005 model of 996 for the heat shields
I noticed that kit doesnt come with those
How do you replace the spark plug tubes?
Excellent step by step instruction and good camera work.
Hey Mike, thanks for another great presentation, is the coil and spark plug replacement on a 997.2 any different, or have you already covered this?
Exceptional video for the technical content, the tips, the production and your presenting abilities. Just as a tip for anyone caught short of an e10 spanner whilst changing the coil as I did and not wanting to delay the job by ordering one, I got away with a normal 8mm open ended spanner. It was a snug fit and worked a treat, not ideal but got me out of a hole.
How often do you need to replace the spark plugs on a 996?
Excellent thanks!
Thanks for the awesome video. One thing I did was to remove the rear wheels and the mufflers which is easy to do and this makes getting to the coils and spark plugs 10 times easier. I did it on the floor in the garage without a lift since the spark plugs are just behind the mufflers. Bonus: Perfect time for a muffler bypass pipe!
Someone please contact me. The #4 cylinder coil wire is the only one that takes me the most time to connect to the coil pack. It seems the wire is too short to make it easy to connect. It comes off fine but getting my hand up and grabbing the wire and then connecting it is really hard. It seems that the wiring harness could be pulled toward the back of the car to give me a bit of slack. Does anyone have an idea how to make this easy?

Also want to give the producer kudos. Lighting, sound and pop ups through out the vid are very professional.
Huge fan here.
