How to Access spark plugs.

[MSF]

Can anyone give me some ideas on how to remove the pencil type coil pack from my 2005 Audi A2 1.4 petrol?
I would like to change both the coil packs and the spark plugs but the pencil type coils are surrounded by plastic clips and a frame to keep everything in place. Managed to release a couple but others seem reluctant to move. Don’t want to break anything is there any instructions out there?
Thanks.

There are videos on YouTube showing how to do a spark plug change on a Polo 9n with 1.4 BBY engine or similar. The clips all unlatch the same way just go carefully, one on the near-side rear is the most fiddly IIRC. The coil packs are best levered out with 2 flat blade screwdrivers positioned either side. Be careful to lever them evenly and make sure the replacement ones are fully home. When disconnecting the cables, be sure to press the connector in the mating direction to take the pressure off the little latch which is easy to break otherwise. Good luck,
Matt

Thanks for the advice.

I use plastic trim levers instead of screwdrivers, less chance of breaking something.
