Oh, that is weird, I thought that these coils had been binned by the time that engine came along, all the "sorted out" phase two versions of these TSI engines changed quite a bit including getting coils that are bigger than the ones on my Audi S4 - but they are not red! On the "phase two" engines there is no doubt that you probably could get hold of them with your hands, wife's Polo 1.2TSI 110PS is only about 2 years old, so I've not gone near the plugs yet! My Audi S4 coils have horizontal grooves/ribs on the lump at the top, so the correct coil tool just slides along these grooves/ribs and gets enough grip to let you heave the coils out

Edit:- here's an idea, get yourself a set of nice shiny red super duper high energy coils - I'm sure that they exist?

As I said, I have not tried to use a proper coil lifter tool yet on that model of engine, but, looking again at the picture in your opening posting, you will see what I meant about there being a cable management tray in there, so what I found that I neded to do, even when using two screwdrivers was, open up the clips on the cable tray and start to remove the coils, it will be the same way with a tool, there should be enough room to clip the tool on and start at one end and ease them all up - you will need to do that as you will run out of cabling if you try to just remove one at a time, doing it my way avoids needing to unplug a single coil - if I remember correctly!

Disconnecting these VAG type of connectors is not rocket science, but it needs a bit of care and understanding to get every one apart with no damage - to the extent that I have a large empty VAG type connector that I keep purely for rechecking exactly how to open the latch, it is done by inserting a suitable flat blade screwdriver into the small opening on the top of the connector after pressing the mating connector pair together to remove any load from that latch, then ease the connector pair apart. So, never be tempted to stick a screwdriver into the small opening on the end of the connector as that only forces the latch further down and not up!

Edit:- looking at that picture again, the latches are on the underside of the connectors as they are placed in the engine - another very good reason to free up the cable restraints prior to easing up these coils!

Thanks again! ive done you a little video lol. I am just talking the the mainsteps of the process of spark plug change, to make sure i am on the right path, though would be easier for you to mark my work this lol.

thanks again

I would really need to go over that job on that engine again to refresh my memory as to exactly how to disconnect the coil connector etc before commenting on what you have done/said. The connector latching might or might not be exactly how I described it and that is hidden until you ease the coils up a bit.

Not a problem well I won't be doing this job for a few months anyway and I will probe record myself to help anyone else do it. But thanks anyway for input

By the way, Boc is short for Bocanegro - which I think translates into "Black Mouth" as these versions of Cupra had black trim etc on the front - which looks a bit like a face having a black mouth.

Edit:- with some help from tinterwebnet:-

Bocanegra Family History. Bocanegra Name Meaning. Spanish: nickname from boca 'mouth' + negra 'black', denoting a foul-mouthed or abusive person. In the form Boccanegra, this surname has also been long established in Italy.

I just had a look at them and they are mean. Glad I learnt something there. Although I am abit clued up in the mechanics. When ppl say I have the VBT BOC turbo lol I am clueless so good to know for future ref

I've now had a look at a spare coil that I keep in that late 2009 Ibiza, and the "clip" on it for retaining the mating connector is definitely on the underside of the coil, so really I think that you should wait until you have a coil removal tool before moving on with that youtube video as it will make more sense once you can see how the connector needs to get separated from the coils after they have been eased up a bit after releasing the cables from their tray.

Yeah I defiantly will do this. I doubt u do or I guess it may have already been done. Do u have a means to 0ostnin a.pic of that spare connector you have. Or even easier if I drop you my email could you send it there? If it's too much trouble then honestly don't worry yourself. Thanks either way

R8 coils. ive just dumped some Bosch coils on, next step will be TFSI coils from teh 2L in red, doubt there will be much diffrence mind.

R8 coils, yes I've notice them mentioned quite a lot, no doubt in time, someone will look back at totals sales of R8s and find it strange that sales of R8 coils are heading towards 800 times the number of R8s built!
