How to Change Sparks and Wires on AFC 2.8
Hi Folks. I need your help. This will be my firts time changing spark plugs and wires. I have missfire on cylinder 2 and need to replace wires and plugs. They have around 130 000 miles on them since "mr. Von Kohl" put them back in 1997.
So I bought NGK wires and NGK BKUR6ET-10 as I read in 12v.org
I have a torque wrench and anti seize lubricant. I also bought the VW/Audi tool wrench for taking off the cables.
I saw a little bit of sand pieces around the sparks, so before changing them will try to blow it out with air compressor in order no sand to get in after I take off the plugs.
I know I have to do spark by spark/cable by cable - old/new one.
I know I have to tight them up to 22lb-ft and put a little bit anti-seize lubricant.
Should I put dielectric gel on the boots where connecting to the spark plug?
Is there any other moment which I miss and could mess it up?
thanks

looks like your good to go
Some dielectric grease on the spark plug connectors..inside on the rubber will help next time you remove the connectors.
If "mr. Von Kohl" used some in 1997..your connectors will come off easily..if not..then they may be stuck. No worries..you are replacing the wires anyways.
