Hi all im a newbie on here ive got an 1998 r reg polo 1.0 6N was doing a service on it but ht leads spark side wont come off, theyve got a metal sleeve around them whats the best way to get them off.Gotta be simple lol.The leads seem to stretch like anything.Thanks

Welcome

Can you post up a photo of the metal sleeve?

From what I recall the metal sleeve is part of the spark cable - its not removable. It just pulls up and off the spark plug.

Access is a bit cramped its a 1.0 1998 with dizzy.The sparks sit in front of the injectors and they are situated at the rear of the engine.Just look like standard ht leads with a metal sleeve around them they run upwards along the crankcase then into the dizzy.Normally i suppose they just pull off but these dont look like they have been disconnected for a while have tried a pair of pliers but didnt wanna come off.Guess will have to buy some new leads as really soft then at least if they rip i can get them off and replace them.

Much like this?

Yep that sort of end looks like original vw leads.

Yep looks like standard vw ht leads will have to buy some leads as a back up, god knows why they wont come off will take a pair of pliers to them lol
