Have taken off the air box, and i cant seem to find the spark plugs.

Are they located under the black 'electric block', which are unscrewed with 2 hex screws?

Any help/pics would be appreciated.

Thanx.

Here is the engine bay.

just pop off the ht leads like in the picture and they are under there. hope this helps

how the hell do i pull the ht leads out? they're not budging!

they just pull out, try taking the manifold heat shield off 2 bolts at the top and one at the bottom first should give you a bit more leverage.

Don't try to pull them off by the lead

wiggling them around might help.

Yes, just wiggle them around (the metal bit) with a pair of pliers; this was a tip given to me by the guy at my MOT station, who happens to have a Polo!

make sure the ignition is off though.

Don't know why but I would love to see that happen

old engines used to have the spark plugs exposed years ago, when my dad served his time as a mechanic his boss used to stick his arm across all the spark plugs of a running engine and make the engine stop

i finally got it done.. gonna post some pics of my car 2moro.. wonder how many people can guess what's changed
