Buzzark 0 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I want to change the plugs on mine soon and will need to buy a tool to remove the leads as it wasn't with the car when I bought it.Any suggestions on where to get? cheap but functional would be good! Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Someone on this forum was selling them for £15 (proper vw ones) not too long ago, have a look in the bits for sale bit. GSF do a one for £20ish, but they are no good if you have very recent magnicor leads. Link to post Share on other sites

JohnP 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Zerocool was selling these for £15, (metal ones), but he doesn't seem to come on here very often, as he's not responed to my PM since 21st of May. Link to post Share on other sites
Buzzark 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I've PM'd zerocool but I won't hold my breath then if he's not on often.I might just go for one I saw on eBay for about £20 which is metal or GSF and order the plugs at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites

Buzzark 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Actually, just checking - do I need one with a Schrick? or are the tops of the leads accessible by hand with the manifold off? Link to post Share on other sites
richievr 1 Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 you may be able to remove them without the tool if you remove your manifold(as you need to)not 100% sure though . . .best get checking.. Link to post Share on other sites
Buzzark 0 Posted June 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I've just looked and the leads are Beru ones, they have a metal sleeve/cap on the plug end - I can't see why you'd need a tool so maybe these aren't standard leads (they are red though so I assumed they were).With the manifold removed, they look reasonably accessible.*Edit* I've done a bit of searching and the Beru leads seem to be the OEM leads, so these might as per standard spec. I guess you'd need the tool to remove the lead through the access holes in the VW manifold so it looks like I probably just don't need one afterall.Better order some plugs in that case...
