Its good to have these videos. Why does Volkswagen make everything dumb as hell? Nothing on these cars are made simple to change from the interior to the motor. Stupid

I own a 1968 Beetle and it's the same there..it took me longer to change ONE spark plug wire, and only the wire, than it took me to install the new distributor timing it. etc. Oh, and the car battery under the rear seat with the terminals only a couple of inches from the seat springs😆 It's a fun car tho. Easy to work on the engine at least.

You know you don't have to move the intake to pull the spark plugs just get an extension with the swivel head and get a spark plug socket and that will come out no problem just messing with the wires is difficult but once you pop those off change the spark plug and put anti spark plug cease they give it to you in your auto zone so the plugs aren't difficult to pull off next time and boom your done start with cylinder 1 and work down to 4

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. The video was very useful to me. But if you use a rotating socket with a long extension, you save yourself from removing all the screws. Thanks again.

Great video. I just finished this whole ordeal. My only prior experience servicing cars was changing a broken lightbulb, and I have to say, you made it look way easier than it was. That over-head intake manifold was such a pain in the ass. The whole process took me about three hours. I nearly spent a third of the time fiddling with those two inward bolts on the manifold. I even had to go and buy one of those long hex keys because of them.

This seems pretty complex. Do you think it will be hard process for any mechanic? I have 2005 vw beetle and I think I need to change my spark plugs. I have a mechanic I go for routine work (oil, brake) but not sure if he can work on this. Any idea? IT seems like there are 4 spark plugs. Thank you.

This is not a big job, a little more work than normal 4 cylinders engines but nothing special that needs to be done. The intake removal might seem a little more complicated, but it is straight forward
