nice easy job,spark plug change,right?
er.....fucking NO!
took 2 and a half hours,u have to remove the airbox,washer bottle,battery! then the holes are lined up so that the inner wings are in the way of any decent tools so a million combinations af uj's ratchets and extensions later and i have changed all four for my less car knowledgable mate,holy fuck it pissed me off!

 

a task as simple as that they didnt properly egineer!

 

is a pig of a job aint it....................gotta love the flat 4 lay out for that

 

Was looking at buying a wrx until i learned that they come fitted with a vw beetle engine

Straight or v block everytime

i would of holesawed the inner wings

 

yeah,me too,but its a VERY rare sti,like only 400 ever made,its got the 2 door p1 shell,but has special goodies like adjustable front to rear torque split etc.....shame he is a coper and never drives the thing how it should be driven!

 

the motor is never buy a scoobie

 

 

@ Gareth T

 

It's not so bad actually. I halped quite a lot on big bhp Scoob and we had to change spark plugs to even start the thing. 30 minute job if ou know what you're doing. My mate managed that with my help at -20 degrees. Still one of a few downsides of flat four.

 

The service interval for them is 50k anyway as they are platinum tipped, so shouldnt need doing that often!

 

Be careful with that so you dont hurt the chocolate pistons.

 

Thats just absolute nonsense your talking there mate.

 

What a pile of Pooh

 

Why the problem?

You only do it once every 30,000 miles...

not like some ford thing....

Alex


ps

 

one of our mates had some car to service i cant remember (GUZZLER might remmeber) but it took 8hrs (said in the book) to change the plugs

fuckus thatus

 

8 hours??!?!?!?!?!?!

 

yeh had to take off shit loads of things. ill find out what it was

 

You could take the fcuking engine out & in, in under 8 hours!!!

 

 

ON Scoobies 100 000km service is engine out job and can be done under 8 hours with everything.

 

they are easy as arazel says its a easy job half a hour

 

 

A bit tricky with Greddy FMIC kit installed though aluminium sticks to fingers at -20 degrees

 

As Azrael says 30mins (seen it done in 20mins).

And as also pointed out is every 30k miles. Most Cossie plugs in higher powered Cossie engines dont last 10k miles.

Must admit though.... it can be a bit of a knuckle scraper!
