These not torx fasteners they are actually called triple square look on amazon you will find them there torx will work but to be correct triple square is the right tool
I'm getting old... I was basing my decision off of the video (what the tool looked like). To me it looked like my Torx bit... but my Triple Square bit looks the same (from the angle in the video). My apologies that I posted the wrong info. Send me your mailing address and I'll send you some of my channel stickers (click the fkh161 link in the description and then click on "Tool Request" to send me your info). Thank you for setting me straight... rest assured, I do know the difference between Torx & Triple square.
Since I'm taking scannerdanners classes I know what a waste spark system is now. I'm leaning here too. That special tool looks very necessary. Thanks Thomas.
Oops... your comment slipped by me, sorry. Yes... that removal tool is key to grabbing a hold of the wires / cables. If you try to use pliers of some sort, you can break the cable or insulation and then get misfires after installing them again. The tool is worth its investment cost!
Special thanks!!! Just replaced spark plugs and wires. The replacement on bottom right. Didn't need replacing. Took all the steps. Everything is running smoothly. Just need to know how to take off the check engine light off....
Check engine light should go out by itself... if it was on because of misfire codes. When the engine computer does not see any more misfires... it will turn the light off. You will need a scan tool to check what the codes are... there could be other codes besides misfire, that could keep the light on. Most auto parts stores will be able to scan the car for you and even clear the codes (turn the light off).
This is the second CBPA ignition coil that I have run into that cause intermittent misfires... the coil is non-serviceable (aside from making sure that the harness plug & pins are ok). Check the wiring & fuses (as per service manual) and replace the ignition coil if no faults are found.
Hey man I love your videos (used your strut install guide to do a lowering kit on my Jetta) but I just wish you talked more while you were working to maybe walk us through everything that you are doing, I think it would make everything much more helpful and improve your videos. Thanks!
Have you notice the 2011 and up engine have more room under the intake ! I too change one coil on a mk6 Jetta they are the same as the AEG engine and they are cheaper to buy compared to AVH or AZG they don't seem to consume any oil in the mk6 jettas compared to older MK4 cars !
Hey... long time no chat! You guys snowed in already? We only have a couple of customers with these engines / year of vehicle. Haven't noticed enough differences yet. I do like the room / layout!
When you buy plugs that are "meant for the engine" they are usually already gapped to the correct gap. For the CBPA engine, gap is listed as 0.9 to 1.1 mm in the service manual (getting one is worth the investment).
Did you see the T handle tool I was using? Google search "VW spark plug cable tool" to find tools that are similar... like this: www.fcpeuro.com/products/vw-audi-spark-plug-cable-tool-cta-3055
Dirt that fell in or carbon deposits that were already there? I don't think there will be long term damage if a small amount fell in... but only time will tell.
If you change the spark plug wires be sure to plug them into the coil correctly. 2013 VW Jetta S 2.0 Plug #1 top right of coil, #2 top left , #3 bottom left, #4 bottom right. Replacing the wires with quality European wires for VW from Amazon solved all my code problems.
Is there any "learning" function that the car needs to accept the new coil pack, requiring special software? Or is this just a plug-and-play part? Our dealer mentioned that they would make sure the "learning" was taken care of as part of the coil pack replacement.
Remove drain plug... remove oil filter... install oil filter and install drain plug... add oil and check oil level with dipstick. I can't remember if the bulbs push into place or if they need to be rotated. Should be easy to determine once you have access to the connector (there should be an access cover).
HI, very nice video! My Jetta is 70 000 km and has misfire on 2. Should I change all spark plugs and coil, or only spark plugs is enough in a first time?
Check the spark plugs, if it needs them, replace them. If the spark plugs look good, check the spark plug wires & coil. If you don't want to take a chance... replace the spark plugs, coil & spark plug wires.
thanks for quick answering! So, if for example only the spark plug two is bad, I just need to change one spark plug? Or better change all at the same time?
Check engine light can be on for 200 reasons... could be as simple as a loose gas gap. Have someone scan the engine computer for fault codes... once you know the code(s), there's no guessing as to what the issue might be.
I don't know about that... I used Dielectric grease in my Throttle Position Sensor to combat water intrusion. TPS signal was compromised due to the "lack" of conductivity. Water intrusion: instagram.com/p/BnXhXAGAWoJ/ Dielectric Grease: instagram.com/p/BnaI0J7ANjp/ I can't find the update about removing the dielectric grease... I think I mentioned it in one of my videos though. So in my mind, it is NOT a good conductor... it is great for sealing spark plug boots to ignition coils & spark plugs.
Year? All sites will list a few brands / price ranges. You can't go wrong with any of them (sites or plugs) as long as the plugs are listed as being OK for your engine. Expensive plugs doesn't always mean that they are better. Pick a price point that suits you. When in doubt, go to the VW Parts department and get what the dealer uses.
Which engine? On some, yes. You can try to lever them out with a screwdriver, but you have to be careful. Coil packs such as in this video just need to be unbolted.
Those old plastic tools that used to be on the hood support rod "should be able to" do the job... a nice T handle tool such as the one that I am using is easier to handle (pun intended... if that is a pun).
I don't (yet) have a video for intake manifold removal, sorry. If it's anything like prior year models, the intake is held in place by 5mm & 6mm allen bolts. Should be easy enough to determine, where the intake is secured with bolts, via a visual inspection.
Once you get used to the angle and have the right plug wire release tool... it's straight forward. Thank you for watching! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! All the best to you & your family for the new year!
Yes... that's why you should usually remove one at a time (when swapping plug wires or coils). The coil & plug wires have markings that match (a, b, c,d)
I am trying to do this but I want to remove the manifold to make it easier because it's my first time and I don't have that long tool that removes the spark plug wire from the spark plugs. But I can't seem to figure out how to remove the manifold. Any tips?

Thomas EXOVCDS does this engine type have those straight ignition coils or is it just the coil pack. Because I got misfire intermittent on cylinder 4, is there an issue with the spark plug or the coil pack. Please let me know thanks
If you look at your ignition coil, you can see what style it is. The part number is on the coil so you can order the correct one. Could be spark plugs, wires or the coil. If all are still original, replace everything.

Awesome video dude! My sister has a 2014 jetta and has had some other people work on it to try to fix the misfire but it keeps coming back so I'm going to look at her car asap. She said she replaced the ignition coil 2 times already and the problem keeps recurring. A guy at auto zone said you have to reset the computer or its going to keep happening. Any thoughts on that?
Thomas EXOVCDS ok awesome dude. Hopefully I can figure this out for her. I'm not really a fan of vw because of all the trouble she is having with such a low mileage car. Thanks for responding
Not relating to the video but my 13 mk6 jetta is showing uneven alignment in the rear: Left toe: .20 degrees Right toe: .10 degrees Left camber: -.8 degrees Right camber: -.2 degrees Thrust angle: -.1 degrees Any suggestions on what i should do? I know twist axles are not normally adjustable when taken in for an alignment and the vehicle tracks unsmooth at highway speeds
We don't do alignments in house... I have no idea where or what needs adjusting, sorry. I can try to find some info in the service manual... that's about it.
Thanks for the video- very informative! One question, does the CBPA engine use the same "spark plug wire puller" as the other 2L engines? Can't seem to find anything tied into the CBPA specific...
I use my tool on any VW that has spark plug wires that have "pull tabs"... I have noticed that my tool is a little big on some connectors, but that does not matter as long as you hook the tool under both of the pull tabs, so that you can pull on the connector. If I have some time this weekend, I'll look what tool is listed in the CBPA service manual... and will compare it with what is listed in the A3/mk3 & A4/mk4 service info.
Thomas EXOVCDS spark plugs didnt even look that bad have 71k thwy look little like black but nothing serious i gotta check the coil pack today n i domt havw much tools to figure it out i hope its the coil pack
Not if the spark plug is still in the threads... if you don't have an air gun to blow the dirt away (you can see dust flying away as I blow), run the engine for a few seconds or crank for a few seconds to let the compression get past the threads to blow stuff away. Did you see the "mouse shit" around the spark plug in this video: th-cam.com/video/6NRbglzUkiA/w-d-xo.htmlm59s Compression alone would not get that cleared away.
Google "vw spark plug wire tool" to find similar... here's one example. www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben-parts/spark-plug-boot-puller-straight/016836sch02a/
My OBDII dongle does not show any errors / misfires or other things (jetta 2012 2.0 S), but my problem is that when engine is warm sometimes it stops without option to rerun it till it cool down. Everytime after ride, I cannot start it till it cool down. I replaced coolant sensor and torque, is this related to ignition coil maybe?
@@EXOVCDS Crankshaft position sensor is that on the left side of engine, under gear... maybe, maybe I need to check it with multimeter. About ECM relay, I am not sure, everything works, starter works but enngine does not start working.
Crankshaft position sensor on the 2.0L is to the right of the oil filter... mounted against the engine block just above the oil pan. When it stalls / does not start... with the key in the ON position, is the check engine light illuminated (it should be)?
@@EXOVCDS Ok, so I missed Crankshaft sensor with that on the left side one. Crankshaft sensor I replaced, did not help. During that issue, starter cranks the engine without success. There are no errors logged. Check engine illuminated, I think it always is before engine start, anyway. Yesterday I stuck in the middle of tunnel and have wait half an hour to cool down the engine. I decided to go to dealer but during checking reviews I found one guy who had the same issues and dealers did not help him, some other magical mechanic was driving with him and when the warm engine stalled then he checked that ignition coil did not respond. So today I ordered ignition coil, cables and new sparks. I will put update here after install new parts.
That's a pretty nifty tool to get the spark plug wires off and on. On this engine, you mentioned that spark plugs needs changing at 40,000 miles. Is this normal for this engine as most engines today can reach 100,000 miles on plugs? Pretty funny about the Canadian tire torque wrench. I wonder if Steve got that all worked out... Nice work Thomas!
For this one and a bunch of others it is... me personally, I don't trust the long intervals. I always check them early... it also helps keep the threads from seizing! LOL
www.ecstuning.com/ should have all you need. - 3/8" ratchet & 12" extension - 5/8" spark plug socket - spark plug wire removal tool - needle nose pliers to disconnect the injector plugs - T30 Torx for the ignition coil (sometimes 10mm head bolts with a 5mm allan hole in the middle of the bolt head).
@@Matt-fj4yv According to some, no. I've been working on cars now for almost 30 years... I always use the tool, because it makes it easier & faster to remove the plug wires and makes it safer to install them. Using anything else, there's a chance of damaging the rubber of the plug wire... which will result in / cause misfiring (due to the broken insulation).
@@EXOVCDS I got it done without the tool today but I can definitely see the need for the tool. It was kind of a bitch to figure out a way to yank on them without bumping into the injectors. Thanks for responding!
Joe A if the fault was fixed, the light should go off by itself after a few days of driving. On older cars maybe not. You can also try leaving the battery disconnected for a few minutes, but I don't think that alone will do it.
I'd have to check the service manual. In general, new plugs are already correctly gapped. If they all look the same, odds are the gaps are good (doubtful that they would all be too wide or narrow). Let me know if you need me to check the service manual.
I bought some Bosh ones and I check one and the gap is at .44 so I been looking and people say it’s .43. I changed the spark plugs on the car not too long ago but it kinda misfires on idle I don’t have a check engine on also the car runs fine so I was thinking that the gap on the auto lite iridium spark plug is to small? They told me those spark plugs don’t need to be gapped
There is only 1 ignition coil on this engine... it was removed at 7:25 If you have a different engine... then things will be different. If your engine has individual ignition coils, then your engine DOES NOT have spark plug wires. Year, make, model, engine?
@@EXOVCDSI have a 2012 VW Jetta 2.0 No i just missed that part I changed everything already spark plugs and the Coil how do I get rod of the check engine light?

So in my mind, it is NOT a good conductor... it is great for sealing spark plug boots to ignition coils & spark plugs.
What kind of spark plugs are compatible with this engine? If you could attach a link it would be helpful 😁
Any parts store or auto parts website will have a catalog that you can browse.
I'm still at work... but can get back to you later tonight once I'm at home, if you still need help
Year of vehicle? 2.0L turbo or non turbo like in this video?
It's a 2 litre non turbo, I checked on various sites but I don't know which one is the best amongst them.

Awesome video dude! My sister has a 2014 jetta and has had some other people work on it to try to fix the misfire but it keeps coming back so I'm going to look at her car asap. She said she replaced the ignition coil 2 times already and the problem keeps recurring. A guy at auto zone said you have to reset the computer or its going to keep happening. Any thoughts on that?
No resetting required (after changing those parts)... as far as i know, aside from clearing codes.
Thomas EXOVCDS ok awesome dude. Hopefully I can figure this out for her. I'm not really a fan of vw because of all the trouble she is having with such a low mileage car. Thanks for responding
check the wiring harness at the coil it self wiggle it while you watching misfire data and see if misfire goes away
Haz Mechanic ok will do ... thanks for the advice
Not relating to the video but my 13 mk6 jetta is showing uneven alignment in the rear:
Left toe: .20 degrees
Right toe: .10 degrees
Left camber: -.8 degrees
Right camber: -.2 degrees
Thrust angle: -.1 degrees
Any suggestions on what i should do? I know twist axles are not normally adjustable when taken in for an alignment and the vehicle tracks unsmooth at highway speeds
We don't do alignments in house... I have no idea where or what needs adjusting, sorry. I can try to find some info in the service manual... that's about it.
Thanks for the video- very informative! One question, does the CBPA engine use the same "spark plug wire puller" as the other 2L engines? Can't seem to find anything tied into the CBPA specific...
I use my tool on any VW that has spark plug wires that have "pull tabs"... I have noticed that my tool is a little big on some connectors, but that does not matter as long as you hook the tool under both of the pull tabs, so that you can pull on the connector. If I have some time this weekend, I'll look what tool is listed in the CBPA service manual... and will compare it with what is listed in the A3/mk3 & A4/mk4 service info.
Thomas EXOVCDS hey man maybe u can help me i have a 2011 jetta 2.0 l base has a cylinder 2 misfire changed the plugs still having misfire ?
Spark plug wire, ignition coil or fuel injector issue.
What did the spark plug look like? Is the compression ok?
Thomas EXOVCDS spark plugs didnt even look that bad have 71k thwy look little like black but nothing serious i gotta check the coil pack today n i domt havw much tools to figure it out i hope its the coil pack
question: I've always wondered about the "blow away debris around the socket " part with spark plugs. doesn't some of the dirt fall inside?!?!?
Not if the spark plug is still in the threads... if you don't have an air gun to blow the dirt away (you can see dust flying away as I blow), run the engine for a few seconds or crank for a few seconds to let the compression get past the threads to blow stuff away. Did you see the "mouse shit" around the spark plug in this video: th-cam.com/video/6NRbglzUkiA/w-d-xo.htmlm59s Compression alone would not get that cleared away.
Yeah I actually saw that baked crud in the earlier "bits" video. funny..and "awful" ouch!
What's the part number por the tool to unplug the wire form the plug?
Google "vw spark plug wire tool" to find similar... here's one example.

@@EXOVCDS thank you for the advice!!! 🙏👍
My epc light went on and the car is running rought. But then my code read p0304 cylinder 4. Any help
Check # 4 cylinder spark plug, ignition wire or ignition coil and compression (if the spark plug, wire, coil is ok).
Have d same car n getting the samr codes how much to fix a problem like dat??
Depends on where you buy the parts.

HI Thomas engine CBPA interference engine or no-interference engine? thank you
Interference.
Thank you
@@ievgen1909 If the timing belt broke... install a new one and see how the engine runs. Sometimes people get lucky and don't have bent valves.
@@EXOVCDS thank you, He has not torn yet, but he has not long left
My OBDII dongle does not show any errors / misfires or other things (jetta 2012 2.0 S), but my problem is that when engine is warm sometimes it stops without option to rerun it till it cool down. Everytime after ride, I cannot start it till it cool down. I replaced coolant sensor and torque, is this related to ignition coil maybe?
Crankshaft position sensor or power supply relay for ECM (engine computer)... but I'm not sure.
@@EXOVCDS Crankshaft position sensor is that on the left side of engine, under gear... maybe, maybe I need to check it with multimeter. About ECM relay, I am not sure, everything works, starter works but enngine does not start working.
Crankshaft position sensor on the 2.0L is to the right of the oil filter... mounted against the engine block just above the oil pan. When it stalls / does not start... with the key in the ON position, is the check engine light illuminated (it should be)?
@@EXOVCDS Ok, so I missed Crankshaft sensor with that on the left side one. Crankshaft sensor I replaced, did not help. During that issue, starter cranks the engine without success. There are no errors logged. Check engine illuminated, I think it always is before engine start, anyway. Yesterday I stuck in the middle of tunnel and have wait half an hour to cool down the engine. I decided to go to dealer but during checking reviews I found one guy who had the same issues and dealers did not help him, some other magical mechanic was driving with him and when the warm engine stalled then he checked that ignition coil did not respond. So today I ordered ignition coil, cables and new sparks. I will put update here after install new parts.
@@piotrwiniarski Show me pictures of what sensors you replaced... send to;

What is that tool being used to push the wires into place called?
Google image search "vw spark plug wire tool" to find a similar tool for sale online.
@@EXOVCDS thx
That's a pretty nifty tool to get the spark plug wires off and on. On this engine, you mentioned that spark plugs needs changing at 40,000 miles. Is this normal for this engine as most engines today can reach 100,000 miles on plugs? Pretty funny about the Canadian tire torque wrench. I wonder if Steve got that all worked out... Nice work Thomas!
For this one and a bunch of others it is... me personally, I don't trust the long intervals. I always check them early... it also helps keep the threads from seizing! LOL
That's true Thomas about long intervals on spark plugs that you may get some plugs that are seized. Good point!
A Canadian Tire Torque wrench 😄😄 I like that one !!
I figured someone would spot that!
I see Steve caught that one to .
Oops... I focused on the lubing the spark plug question. LOL
😊
Men, sorry for ask but, i have a jetta 2009 with CBP 2.0l engine, what kind of plugs i should to use? (the fu***g manual say nothing about it)
www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Jetta_VI-Sedan-2.0/Engine/Ignition/
What is the name of the tool take of the wire ? Tank you
"VW Spark Plug Wire removal tool" should get you some good google search results.
Tank you dude!!!
You mine giving an actual list of all the tools.i will need? I can go pick this up now.
www.ecstuning.com/ should have all you need.
- 3/8" ratchet & 12" extension
- 5/8" spark plug socket
- spark plug wire removal tool
- needle nose pliers to disconnect the injector plugs
- T30 Torx for the ignition coil (sometimes 10mm head bolts with a 5mm allan hole in the middle of the bolt head).
@@EXOVCDS do you need the wire removal tool?
@@Matt-fj4yv According to some, no. I've been working on cars now for almost 30 years... I always use the tool, because it makes it easier & faster to remove the plug wires and makes it safer to install them. Using anything else, there's a chance of damaging the rubber of the plug wire... which will result in / cause misfiring (due to the broken insulation).
@@EXOVCDS I got it done without the tool today but I can definitely see the need for the tool. It was kind of a bitch to figure out a way to yank on them without bumping into the injectors. Thanks for responding!
@@Matt-fj4yv Thanks for the update... good to hear you managed without the tool.
Hi one ? I change my coil n spark plugs but still misfires do u tink its like d wires wanna change?
FITZROY MYSTRO I don't know... could be wires. Could be fuel injector, compression or something with the new parts.
Ok tanks ill change d wires today n see
How can you take off the engine light from the dash after replacing it if you don't have a computer to reset it
Joe A if the fault was fixed, the light should go off by itself after a few days of driving. On older cars maybe not. You can also try leaving the battery disconnected for a few minutes, but I don't think that alone will do it.
okay thank you
Thanks for the good video's!
Thank you for watching!
Still cant get the coils out for some reason.
Coils?
What is the spark plug gap?
Your Service manual will list the gap as being 0.9 to 1.1 mm
When you buy new plugs... they should already be gapped.
What’s the oem recommended gap?
I'd have to check the service manual. In general, new plugs are already correctly gapped. If they all look the same, odds are the gaps are good (doubtful that they would all be too wide or narrow). Let me know if you need me to check the service manual.
I bought some Bosh ones and I check one and the gap is at .44 so I been looking and people say it’s .43. I changed the spark plugs on the car not too long ago but it kinda misfires on idle I don’t have a check engine on also the car runs fine so I was thinking that the gap on the auto lite iridium spark plug is to small? They told me those spark plugs don’t need to be gapped
Can you check for the proper gap? I have been looking everywhere and I haven’t found a solid answer
0.9 to 1.1 mm
I didnt see you change the coils how do you do that?
There is only 1 ignition coil on this engine... it was removed at 7:25
If you have a different engine... then things will be different.
If your engine has individual ignition coils, then your engine DOES NOT have spark plug wires.
Year, make, model, engine?
@@EXOVCDSI have a 2012 VW Jetta 2.0 No i just missed that part I changed everything already spark plugs and the Coil how do I get rod of the check engine light?
It should go out by itself after a few days of driving... as long as the fault is no longer present. What was / were the fault codes? Misfire?
@@EXOVCDS Yes it was a misfire exactly what you said in the video cyl 1 and 4 and when I took out the spark plugs they looked pretty worn
When did you do the work? The light should go off if there are no more misfires... but it might take a couple of days / drive cycles.
I need a tool this, where I buy from?
Amazon: "vw spark plug boot removal tool"
eBay: "vw spark plug boot removal tool"
Google Image Search: "vw spark plug boot removal tool"
Damn. I just spent $980 having plugs, wires and coil replaced. Watched this video and realized I could have done it in my garage for about $170.00
Ouch... thank you for watching!
Can i make it without the T10029?
Benjamin Contreras Yes, but you have to be careful.
Whats the firing order ?
Not needed... attach the spark plugs to the coil, according to the markings on the coil pack.
Thomas EXOVCDS so abcd =1234
My old cables say 2=c and 3=b
Is it a 2 x 2 coil like in this video or is it 4 coils stacked on top of each other?
Its like the one in this video , my car is 2.0 2013
👏👏👏
Thank you for watching!
That’s what she said!
It was!
Canadian torque stick, ain't those the one's that yell "EH!" when its tight enough? Ok, that was corny, I know....
Only on the gentle setting! LOL
This is the most dumbest car i ever fucking worked on, I can’t even pull 3 and 2 out without removing the damn manifold
I had no problems removing them.
Thomas EXOVCDS i had the wrong tool, but still this was just a poor design, 2 and 3 we’re a pain in the ass without it.
