CSB3: Forum Discusses Nicknames For Their Wiener And Muds Danger Noodle - Mrs Mud Runs And Hides

Many people can’t afford to have their car down for long periods of time. German cars typically require someone who is familiar with them to work on them. If there is an Indy shop near by that can do the work in a reasonable amount of time for a reasonable cost then great.

It’s a VW tho, shouldn’t cost that much freaking money for a spark plug change. Audi, maybe. Porsche, sure but not a VW.

Depends on the Audi. A spark plug change on an A3 is the exact same as on a GTI...

it's asinine given how easy they are on these motors. a boxer motor where you have to lift the car off the motor mount, sure, I'm paying someone with a lift to do it.

I thought it was ridiculous when I worked at Pep Boys 10+ years ago that they wanted $100 for a spark plug change on a 4 cylinder. That cost is probably closer to $150 now.

Right but it's an "Audi" so more premium. Their clients spend more for a VW.

Don’t forget this tidbit - techs have to supply all their own tools. The only thing the dealer provides them with is a lift, electricity and air along with the pipeline of work

This was the one thing that was different with MINI, they supplied all the tools.

Do Porsche’s require that for spark plugs? The Subarus I’ve worked on don’t, you just need to feed in the extension before snapping it to the ratchet. They look far more difficult than they actually are.

anything without the 2.0 is a fucking pain in the ass. Need to pull the intake and coolant bottle.

I'm somewhat exaggerating, my FA20DIT is just a royal pain compared to every other car I've worked on. Have to make sure you have the exact right length extension/swivel on there.

No, you remove the rear wheels and wheelwell liners to change plugs in most modern Porsches.
