What kind of Spark Plug Wire is used on a 2001 VW Jetta Turbo 1.8?

I wish to replace the spark plugs on my 2001 VW Jetta 1.8L Turbo. How is this done? Do I need a special tools?What kind of Spark Plug Wire is used on a 2001 VW Jetta Turbo 1.8?Go to a car accessory shop and ask for a set of leads for a 2001 VW Jetta 1.8L Turbo.They sell them in complete sets.When you get them home take them out of the box and they are all in different lengths.There will also be one that's slightly different for the coil.

Pull of the lead that seems to be the longest from the spark plug end first.Then pull it of the distributor end.Compare the length to the ones you bought and if you have pulled of the longest one it should be of similar length.Keep doing this changing one at a time.If you take them all off at once and are not sure of the firing order the firing order will be out.So like I said remove one lead and replace one lead until you have finished.

When you have done the plug leads take the lead off the coil and distributor and change that and all should be well.

There may be some clips that holds the leads here and there,if so push the leads into the clips as you remove then.

That's about it.What kind of Spark Plug Wire is used on a 2001 VW Jetta Turbo 1.8?If you don't have the basic socket set for fixing the lawnmower for example, then you cannot do this job. Otherwise you can buy the standard spark plug socket(must be spark plug socket because they have the rubber insert) at any hardware supply store. (I got my initial set from Sears) plus you will need a ratchet. Ask the sales person in the hardware section to assist you. Tell him/her what you want to do and they will show you the necessary tools. Wal~Mart may have the same thing(except I already have tools guaranteed for "life" from Sears, so I don't look.

Also, you will need to purchase spark plugs. Any automotive store(section) will have that, and you need it for 1.8 VW There is a book there to tell you which plugs you should be using.

Wires, the same deal.

Also you need to pic up a 6 pack from the liquor store because you just wanna.

Now go home and crack open a beer(because with all that driving the engine is hot) You want to do a change on a cold engine. Which means at least 2 hours(or 3 minimum) of waiting. {Guess I should have included a pizza in your list..}

Oh, you "could change the plugs on a hot engine". Just don't expect to remove them so easily, "the next time" because it won't happen. The threads will strip out.

Changing the wires is a "1 at a time operation" Take off one and replace with a new one of correct length or longer.

Done like the pizza and maybe you still have a cold beer chilling in the fridge. The car will start and run. Try it. No need to drive it. You just changed your Adidas for Nikes-a running shoe is a running shoe. If the car starts missing or running rough, pull the wires off the plugs one at a time and replace if it kills the motor(that plug is good) Find the one where the stumbling engine does not change-that is a faulty plug(you can buy them new) Take it out and put an old one back(the best of the lot) so the car is driveable and take the plug back to same store with receipt and get a replacement. Heck, I changed all the plugs in my car and 3(new ones) of them were bad(outta 4)

It happens.
