I've had to do this on my R8... The hardest part was removing the plastic wire harness cover that covers and latches to all of the coil packs. Once that was out, the connector was super easy. Great video, as always!
It would be good to mention that the original manufacturer of these parts is TE Connectivity and that the yellow colour refers to the wire gauge. 1.5mm here.
Bendumober, truer words have never been spoken! It is a shame they are no longer manufactured in Germany. You can really tell the difference in quality even though it is still a OEM part.
Tanel, glad you liked the video! Yes I have considered it. Its the rebuild cost (AKA the cost of a used car) that I am having trouble convincing my wife about. Who cares about paying the mortgage when you have forged rods?! LOL
Nick, I want to! This V10 is getting sleeves, rods, head studs and a revised valvetrain in the future. It will be series so you can do all the assembly yourself!
with CP pistons and quality rod guys are making 2000awhp appropriate fueling and turbos on stock sleeves. Who would you trust to do the sleeving machine work?
@@nickyturboboy The block in stock form is great, i agree, but the problem is the Alusil coating on the cylinder walls has scratches from the cataltic converters failing. I want to bulletproof this motor to hit 200k-300k miles but I am a bit on the fence about re Alusiling the block. I have a gent in the San Franciso area that has done a bunch of these blocks with the correct torque plates for this motor, the works without it costing two kidneys and a liver. (I was quoted 50k for machining this block from Dallas Performance LOL)
@@TheBullRider Hey I remember back in my motorcross days that all motorcross bikes have Nikasil or whatever branded name the factory called it. Yeah cats coming apart can be an issue for Galardo models.
BingBangBrine, hell yea. Even bill gates couldn't afford the maintenance on that bad boy. Give me a few years, I need to convince my wife that we have space for it first...

Todd, yeah exactly those covers are a bit tricky, especially in your R8! Glad to hear it was a super easy procedure for your car too.
Interesting, and completely correct of not wanting to splice the wiring
Random Channel, yes 100%. It is a no go to splice into a harness unless you absolutely have to!
Thank you for explaining the dark side!! Awesome video mate
John, glad you liked it! Wiring is a bit tricky and could be bad news if done wrong lol.
Great video, the terminal tool you recommend is much better than the one I went with. Would have made life a bit easier.
Patrick, haha live and learn on that one my friend.
Great to see you Richard !!! Happy New Year !!! You always make it look easy !!! Great tip !!! Thank you !!!
Deuce, no problem. Glad you liked the video! Happy New Year to you too.
Great video! Thank you for this amazing tutorial 👍
Ozzy, you are so welcome! Happy to hear that this this video helped you.

Dalamar, good point! I wanted to avoid the wiring side of things but you are 100% right about the sealing boot indicating the wiring gauge size.
The one thing VAG did right was molding the connector part number into the housing.

Great vid, always interesting! 😀 Saw you comment about considering a rebuild of the engine, I (and many others) would love to see that! 🤯

@@TheBullRider Haha, I can just imaging how that conversion is going. 😅 Sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and do what's right! 😉
@@tanelrebane Well, she is the one that did convince me to buy the car in the first place. LOL
@@TheBullRider As I've said before, she certainly seems like a real catch! 🙂
@@tanelrebane Haha Yes. Thank you!
I always take a picture of the terminal before taking the wires just in case the memory isn’t as good as I think.
Bendumober, lets just say that I am grateful I recorded this video! LOL
Do a video installing forged rods pistons and ARP head studs!
Nick, I want to! This V10 is getting sleeves, rods, head studs and a revised valvetrain in the future. It will be series so you can do all the assembly yourself!
@@TheBullRider Yeah my Huracan is twin turbo and pushinmg 1600awhp and would love to install premium rods and pistons!

What’s this tool called
Andrew, I have all the tools listed in the Description!
if you had a chiron would you work on it yourself lol
