Welcome back to ‪@AutoScholarwithMrB‬ ! Today we are replacing the spark plugs in this 2017 VW Jetta GLI. The instructions will be the same for the 2.0 engine in almost any VW or Audi, along with the 1.8 engines as well.
This is a very easy diy for beginners to try as well, as it is not complicated or time consuming to do. Tools needed are very cheap and you may have what you need already! If you are looking for other videos on mk6 or mk6.5 Jetta or GTI/Golf/Rabbit/Beetle maintenance, I have quite a few below.
If you have any questions, just ask! Leave your comment and I will answer it below.

Lot of good information. Thanks. A little more info on how to remove that wire connector at the coil pack would have been even more helpful.

Thank you so much I have a 4cylinder Atlas and this was the only video I could find online that was any help. I was able to complete the task on my own saving myself at least $250 from getting done through Vw Service. You’re the man Mr. B!!🎉

The key to easily removing the ignition coil boot is to do it when the engine is warm/hot. It's almost imposible to pull the boot out when the engine is cool/cold.

Nice Job!! I'm a big fan of never seize on plug treads too, however it's often frown upon to do so.

A little late but I had to mount the engine bay and push down as well as pull the plugs towards the windshield and they popped right off. No tool required.

Changed my daughters last week and 3 of the 4 coil electrical connectors were already broken 4:28 lol seems to be working fine. 140k on the motor so not really too concerned with fixing them unless that start acting up

will old spark plugs change the sound of the car?

Sound in total? I don’t think. Sounds during idle and acceleration might be off timing wise

I didn’t but you can if you’d like.

I have a 2015 GLI (same Gen3 motor) - Spark plugs haven't been touched since I've owned the car and I've owned the car since it was 3 y/o w/ 9,000 miles. Engine now has 87,000 miles. Do you think there is anything I need to be concerned about when trying to remove the plugs? I have a ton of mechnical experience with older vehicles so coil over plug engines worry me a little: if the plug doesn't come out nicely I know its not easy to fit the head in-situ. Just gathering any tips/information before I dig in. Great video otherwise. Thanks for posting.

Not necessarily, I would just do the job with the engine cold. If they feel hard to get out, you can let them soak with some penetrating oil. Thanks for watching!

@@AutoScholarwithMrBthanks for the fast reply. I just ordered plugs and will attempt this myself. I’m a mechanically minded individual, just not a professional auto mechanic. I know there are plenty of unknowns so I proceed cautiously. Thanks again ✌️
