As someone who has done this exact job, I can say some things. (1) This is the BEST video on this procedure out there. BAR NONE. (2) It must be a lot easier to do on a lift than lying on my back on my garage floor. (3) Be aware that the camera can see things that your eyes can’t, like the Allen head bolts on the rearmost cylinders and the rear heat shield bolts. Taking those out and putting them in, respectively, by feel was a nightmare. For sure the E10 bolts will make this easier next time. Curse you Michael Hidalgo for making it look so easy! (4) If you don’t have the fancy-pants socket tools or just aren’t quite as dexterous as Mr. Hidalgo, then consider removing the mufflers for easier access.

Good first hand experience notes boffam00 , appreciate the insight!

@Qewlie Год назад

Does removing muffler + bumper make this easier?

@koollee Год назад

James Q .. Obviously, but i think ill take my chances by removing the rear wheels. I dont have a lift so ill be on the ground.

@stephenc6185 Год назад

guess I will be looking for a video on removing the muffler... I tried as Mr. Hidalgo instructed, not enough access for me. thank you boffam00 for the confirmation.

Wow! Seriously, I love watching your videos. You are an excellent mechanic and instructor. Also want to give the producer kudos. Lighting, sound and pop ups through out the vid are very professional. Huge fan here.

Nice video! Thanks for all the 996 content!

@fredbergeron7997 2 года назад

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!

@carolusrex8178 6 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for putting out these videos, allowing 996 owners with some mechanical skills to try their hand at maintenance. Working on and with a car is part of the experience of owning it, and this helps so much! Thanks again

@user-kj1ji7wo1v 3 месяца назад

Loved this video and --having watched it a dozen times before i took on the job--it was just as described. the best tip was the purchase of a racheting torx wrench, used it to install 4 of the six coils and just as easy as a socket. But the spacers on the heat shield in the kit seem way too short; i'll need to get slightly longer ones.

@christopherlansing7387 Год назад

Dude nice meeting you today. Picked up o2 sensors for my e90. Keep up the good work man.

@scruffygit771 2 года назад

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.

@Caplax40 2 года назад

I know if doesn't need to be done, but on my 996.2 Targa, I removed the bumper and mufflers for better access to the spark plugs. I do not have a lift and this allowed me to sit eye level with the spark plugs, which aided in changing them out. Plus, with the mufflers off, it gave an excuse to have the Gundo hack done on them. :) Great video, keep the 996 content coming!

@SacksThriftAve Год назад

Wanted to tell u my quick story, I watched your video , and I ordered the set plugs coil kit from your link, Qnty: 1 set! $366 or so!! I used pay pal. That afternoon, I'm verifying my email order, and I was put down for Qnty 3 charged to my credit card! Over $1300 I called we fixed the problem! They refunded my credit card!! Guess what?? My order arrived you still sent me Qnty 3 of everything, minus ZERO plugs, a week later I received the plugs Qnty 1 set!! I emailed, someone to contact me by phone so I can send back all these extra parts $900 worth!! I received a email saying they can't call me!

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?

@80a7x Год назад

nice vid!! I am dreading how much Porsche would charge for this job XO

@garyvanremortel5218 2 года назад

A good tip you showed, but didn't comment on, is to turn the spark plug counterclockwise first to find the thread start.

@fcpeuro 2 года назад

We should have called that one out Gary!

@koollee Год назад

Turn clockwise to install plugs.

@6:03 you had me. I don't even want to admit it, but it was hilarious. Must've been the BMW hoodie . . .

@flmeade 2 года назад

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.

@paulrose6359 Год назад

I found that the left side (number 1) plug and coil were much less of a hassle to do when you remove the rear bumper and muffler.

@koollee Год назад

Paul Rose .. Did u remove the wheels and try it that way first

@ideabrickworks9043 Год назад

Question…normally I would use some never-seise on threads of the plug. Recommend or not?

@Rush_Subdivisions Год назад

Love all these videos! I bought the plug/coil set for my 2004 4S from FCP (buy all my maintenance parts from them) and I have not see any mention in this video or otherwise of the plug gap. Is it pre-set in the box? Thank you [my people]....

@fcpeuro Год назад

Hi John, great question! These come pre-gapped ready for install.

@ericbengle 2 года назад

How do you replace the spark plug tubes?

@vaderundershorts 2 года назад

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.

@fcpeuro 2 года назад

You should have more than enough room, you can do it!

@edthayres9175 9 месяцев назад

After replacing all the ignition coils and spark plugs, I started the car. I could immediately there was a misfire. I used my code reader and got 301 and 302 codes. Cylinder 1 and 2. Anyone else get this after replacing these items?

@911tbf 2 года назад

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?

@jeffreylindley845 Месяц назад

No anti seize?

@mikebell1961 2 года назад

Quick question since the new coil packs are a little thicker, is there a spacer required behind the heat shields when you reattach them so that they don't touch the new coil packs??

@fcpeuro 2 года назад

No need for spacers on the heatshields Mike should still have enough clearance even with these coil packs!

How often do you need to replace the spark plugs on a 996?

@fcpeuro 2 года назад

Hello, typically every 60k miles or so is what is recommended by Porsche. If the car see's constant heavy driving, you can always bump that up to an earlier interval.
