Default Spark Plugs installation......labour

How long should it take to install new spark plugs on a 1997 A4 1.8TQA. I called the local Audi dealer in Toronto and they said 2.5 hours labour. Is that true as it seems too long to change 4 plugs?

Thanks

Default maybe that long to let the engine cool down, but less than an hour.

Do it yourself. I don't know what the torque setting is for them, since I just turned 10k miles a few weeks ago and haven't looked into it yet. Someone here should know.

Default Did mine in less than an hour on Sunday

Get a torque wrench and go for it!

22 ft/lbs for the plugs
7 ft/lbs for the coil packs
