Sparkie Plugs - Page 2

I have never ( touch wood) had any problems with the 20v'er sparklers, had to replace 2 coil packs I think but that was a result of the insulation braking down.
Beter check mine when I get the car back on the road................................. which WILL be soon

Well your old head had a thread insert in one on the spark plug holes, which decided to come out with the plug when I changed them

. So it had probably suffered from this this as well...
(As well as having a ticky lifter or two, sloppy cam chain and being black-as-yer-hat inside

)
The replacement head was all good though

The coil packs cost a bit, but should last 100k miles/10 years, which isn't bad really.

At least it's much better now. And the head has half the miles on it that the bottom ends has.

Nope, I used my favourite tipple of Silkolene Pro-S. Seems to suit the 20VT to a tee.

I'll let you know, I do have a brand new front section of pipe though curtesy of PeteB

IF you get Audi fuel lines its about 120 quid for metal ones. I'll be using rubber ones I think... Colin4WD will be doing that for me.
