Just brought 2.0 non turbo classic sport
Was running a bit sluggish so thought to change spark plugs

Well I managed to get x2 out on problem but other two carnt get out seems like there no bolt there or the socket won't go down far enough

Well ive been told I need to grind the wall of the socket or something


Any help or advice


Thanks mark

Not true.
Air trucking out on the offside. Washer bottle and battery on the nearside.

I can gain access to the port but the socket is not going deeper down the hole to we're the nut is It looks like there's no nut for the socket

That don't look good.

Finally found why
So with better lifhingl there was some kindkof Oring or part of the coil in the hole little bit of a ******* to get out but that's what was stopping it!!!!

Just one more to figure out
Surely two carnt be the same

What's Why our thoughts on the plug?

That looks a mess. Could it be the rubber off the spark plug removal socket? As mine sometimes comes out and gets stuck on the end of the socket?

Bit of a blurry photo but that looks like the hex part of the plug (the bit the socket turns) has been eroded away by the spark by-passing the spark plug (spark erosion). If so, I'd change the coil pack for that cylinder as the insulation is knackered allowing the spark to "leak", for some reason on some cars a spark will prefer to jump two inches to the head or spark plug base rather than jump the 1mm at the tip. Either because the rubber insulation is no good or the spark plug is dead (or both).

If it's the version with a single coil pack on the inlet manifold rather than individual coils on each plug, just change the leads (as well as the plugs).

Good luck getting the other one out, if the insulation has broken down like on this plug, then it could well be the same.
