Default anyway to convert bolt on coilpack engine cover to clip on coilpack engine cover?

aside from buying a new one which i dunno the price...its a b**tch to do the sparks in less than 20 minutes and put back in the Y pipe (just for that front-most bolt) vacuum connectors down in the hole easily without finik'ing with the darkness until it fits right...


the fact that it takes 5 minutes to do a inline 4 banger compared to ours makes me jealous

Default Are you changing spark plugs every weekend or something?

Seems like an easy job...just takes a little time.

I can fix that. Change the plugs on my B6 S4.

Default every 8k-10k miles, and somehow that happens fast now

Using the Copper NGK's that dont have a good lifespan, but are great and cheap...

not the 25k or 50k life sparks but they really help the get up and go feeling
