- Follow me in part 2 of my tune-up series on this 2013 Volkswagen 2.0L Jetta. Let's video we replace the spark plugs. These spark plugs are nickel core. When tightening up the spark plugs you should torque them to 21 foot pounds. I believe Bosh is the OEM manufacturer for spark plugs on this model. Codes list as P0300, P0301, p0302, p0303, and P0304. should be same or similar to Beetle and golf.

If you replug the wires be sure to plug them in properly top right is #1, top left is#2, bottom left #3, bottom right #4. Hope it helps someone...I learned the hard way!
On a inline 4 engine such as this one. The number one cylinder is always nearest to the crank pulley.
Good job getting in there and getting the job done though. Excellent work.
Are you talking about plugging the boots for the spark plugs or actual spark plugs? Because actual spark plugs don’t have no order specifically they need to go in just the boots over them do? Correct?
Thanks man. Super helpful. Changed plugs and wires on my wife's Jetta. Solved the misfire issue. The car drives much better now. Watching your video saved me over $100!
Excellent video man! Doing this tomorrow. Plugs + coil
Good luck. Keep us posted on how it goes.
Just ordered the parts
Thanks for the video. When using the plug pliers for plug 2 I managed to knock the injector connector for injector 1. The plug connector moves back and forth and the other ones seem to do the same. Are these plugs damaged when they are moved?
They should move a little but don't move them. Lol. If a injector seal goes bad, ull have a headache on your hands.

Thanks for the reply! This is the fuel injector which has a o ring plug. It’s ok to rotate it out of position but the o ring in the rail and into the engine can get damaged.
I ordered the lisle pliers tool and it’s 7 inches. Get an 11 inch plier tool that extra 4 inches gets you to plug 2 in the MSI engine.
Are those those are 3 electrode spark plugs?
Where do you find the torque wrench attachments? Which ones are they? Thanks so much!
Those are just the 3/8 drive tools that fit your socket wrench. So the socket and extension you use to remove the plugs should also fit the torque wrench to install.
Let me know if that answers your question. Good luck on your diy fix.
So question regarding the removing of the wires from each plug. When a friend of mine tried doing this the "boot" stayed on the plug. Do we need a special tool to remove or just brute force to remove it? To pull up on it I mean you make it release from the plug itself...
Sometimes they can be a pain in the but to get off. Make sure to replace the plugs and wires as directed by manufacturer so the parts don't get stuck together. I think I might have a link in the description for 'spark plug wire pliers'. In your case you might need those pliers.
Excelent video, sorry for the dumb question in advance....is that 21 inch lbs or ft lbs
Glad to help.... if its referring to the spark plugs, that is 21 ft lbs. Not a dumb question at all.. good luck on your project. Keep us posted on your progress. 👍💪🤞
Did u put anti seize on the new plugs?
I don't think so. I stopped using anti seize on spark plugs a while back. Someone schooled me on anti seize. When using anti seize it changes the torque rating. Also makes them easier to back out. That's why most spark plugs now have that ring that crushes to keep them in place. I've heard horror stories about the Ford 4.6 and 5.4 L blowing spark plugs out because anti-seize was used. Just like on lug nuts, never put anti seize on lug nuts just because it changes the torque pressure and will back out easier.
Great video. Wouldn’t using a torque wrench with a swivel like you have just make the torque wrench useless ? Jw thanks
my mechanic is trying to tell me the intake has to come off so he can get to 2 and 3 spark plugs, he wants to replace the wires and plugs on 2 and 3, does this mean he doesn’t have to?
The first one he pulled was #3. You can get then from the side
I have 0 experience with cars but I have a question is this going to make my acceleration faster ? And get up speed
Not really, it’s just gonna make your engine run smoother and you’ll be able to sustain maximum throttle/power better if your plugs are worn out. you could see a little more throttle response if your replacing worn out plugs as well. If your looking to modify a non turbo 2.0 Jetta like this one you should stay away from that and think about keeping it your daily driver or sell it and buy a car that has more potential. These engines are really reliable but they have little potential to make reasonable power without spending big money
@@alexhejna5209 🤝 appreciate it
can i use the same sparks on the old 2.0 Jetta A4 ?
I doubt it but possibly. What is the year, make, and model you are working on?
@@ScottiesHobbies - I´m working on both, Jetta A4 2006 and Jetta A6 2014 and looks like the same engine, the only difference is a plastic cover over the engine on the oldest A4.
For some reason I am not seeing a Bosch part number for this engine. Bosch should be factory but my next best recommendation would be DENSO 3403. You can get them here: ebay.to/2WvcCo0 or amzn.to/2Mf3yQg Don't forget to verify the gap prior to install. Gap should be 0.032"
Thanks.
But I don't see the description of the plug pulling pliers.
Only a concern since another video I watched the guy used what looked like a "special tool."
Stay tuned, tonight when I get home I will get you some links for these special pliers. if you Google search all you need to search is spark plug wire pliers. I must have forgot to put a link in the description for you to purchase them. I'll fix it tonight.
What is the gap supposed to be?
.043
How did you find the factory Gap specs on the plugs?
GurnsWorks a crazy thing called the internet
What is a 'strap on ?
Snap On tools.... they so expensive you might as be ready for you to use a 'strap on' on you. 🤣🤣
Maybe u can help me out. Have 2010 vw eos 2.0T. Have bosch double platinums inside it. Dealer says not right ones but have been reading are good not good. Use irridium use double platinum. Which is correct? If i can save myself a couple bucks doing it myself id rather than have the dealer rape my a**!!
factory gap is 43 ? .... In inch or metric ?
.043 inch.
Or maybe .043?
All very helpful, thanks much
@@bradmccanna glad to help. Good luck on your diy fix.
Strap on?
I probably ment Snap-on. I always get them two mixed up. Every time I spend money on the Snap-on tool truck I feel like they are using a strap on with no lube. 😂
@@ScottiesHobbies lol, that's what I figured... It was just funny. Good video though!
@@larryulstrom4749 thanks for the view and comment. Good luck on your fixes.
Going through engine hesitation, 2012 2.0 gas, it was no sparks plugs or ignition coil so far
Check compression?
@@ScottiesHobbies take it back to my mechanic in couple days, coder says cylinder misfire, guess there are few things to check such as compression, mass airflow sensors and others...
@@alirezaashtiani8519 I always recommend a compression check. If you know its that majot to start then you dont even worry about all the littlr stuff. I check when i do my plugs usually. But you can check a few parts, if its a multiple cylinder miss fire like a p0300 then probably more a fuel delivery or metering issue. If is is a particular cylinder code such as a p0303 or p0302 then you can focus on that cylinder. Possibly have a bent valve? Keep us posted.
@@ScottiesHobbies the car has 170,000 miles on it, literally the first issue, been a perfect car so far. I keep you updated in few days, thanks for the response:)
@@alirezaashtiani8519 what was the issue? I have car like in video but only 80k. No cracked ign pack, no obvious vacuum or bad wires. Had similar code p0300 to 301 304 then 351. Seems better on non ethanol gas or fuller tanks
If it doesn't feel good, take it back out and put it back in. Never force that" -THATS WHAT SHE SAID! 6:11
#facts 🤣😂
I would have replaced the cables, they aren’t that expensive. The coil blocks on these cars crack and cause misfires
Did you say a 5/8 socket? VW's use metric...
I believe the 5/8 is a universal socket with a 16mm.
