How to Replace Audi TT Coil Packs
Coil packs seem to be the bane of the Audi TT's existence. This problem may leave the vehicle drivable, but fixing the problem as soon as possible will benefit the car and driver in the long run. Replacing them only takes a few steps.
You will need:
- New coil packs for replacement
- Screwdriver, flat blade
- Make sure the Audi TT is on a level surface. Reach in and open the hood of the vehicle. Take off the engine cover around the oil filter. This will show you the coil packs. Any screws can be removed with the screwdriver. To remove the coil packs use the screwdriver as a leverage point. Push the screwdriver under the first coil pack and press down. This will loosen the coil pack and will enable you to pull it out easily.
- Remove the wiring harness on the pack to release it from the hold of the engine. The new coil pack should then be installed and hooked up to the wiring harness. Gingerly slide the new coil pack into place. There should be an audible or felt click when the coil snaps into place.
- Go over it again. With all the coil packs you want to replace, these steps will be invaluable. Repeating them for each one should be easy and quick. Remember to ease the screwdriver underneath the base of the pack. Do not jab or stab. This could end up ruining what you are trying to accomplish. Once you are done with the coil packs, clean up should be easy.
- Replace the engine cover and cap. Make sure everything is secure and your screwdriver is in the toolbox and not stuck under the hood somewhere. The used coil packs should be sitting out somewhere waiting to be disposed of. Close the hood of the Audi TT.
