  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Took about 2 hours this morning and everything was pretty straightforward.

On the belt, there's not slot of slop so pull it off of the idler pulley first while removing it. When putting it on wrap it around the tensioner pulley first then route it and slide it over the idler pulley last. The belt I took off looked perfect after 100k miles but I changed it anyway.

On the spark plugs, its a little tight but not as bad as I thought it would be. On the connectors on the coils, wiggle the light grey parts side to side while sliding back. Once they are back you can depress the little lock and remove the connector. On one of the connectors the little rubber part became dislodged and wouldn't let the connector reinstall like it should. Don't force them, if the don't slide on relatively easy look at the connector and coil to be sure that little rubber part is where it should be.

Your going to want to use multiple small extensions when removing and installing the plugs. Have a magnetic tool handy for some of the coil bolts an other stuff.

Like I said, not too difficult just had to use my hands from the front or side of the car to change leverage depending on the situation.

Also tore up the foam over the high pressure pump on the drivers side so becareful but its probably because of age, it felt kind of stiff.

How the heck did you access the coil-pack under the high pressure fuel pumps? Or got around the AC coolant pipe on the driver side to pull out the spark plugs and coil packs?

Note: Never mind; I took a better look and it doe seems possible to remove the spark plugs and coil packs with the high pressure pumps and AC pipe still installed. Tight, but doable.
