For Audi TTRS/RS3 owners experiencing reduced performance, misfires, or approaching the recommended spark plug and coil pack replacement interval, it’s vital to consider replacing them. Our easy 6-step guide enables you to do this job at home.

Tools needed:

  • T20 Torx
  • Coil Puller Tool (optional): If struggling to remove the coils by hand, a coil puller tool can be used to make the job easier.
  • 16mm Spark Plug Socket
  • Extension Bar: Attached to the spark plug socket to provide reach and leverage.
  • Torque Wrench

Step 1: Remove the x2 T20 torx screws from the loom cover.
