Hello Audi V8 fans!

I wanted to have a look at my spark plugs but didn´t get far.

Is there a special tool for those weird screws that hold
the cover? Thanks!

Hello Thomas;

when you are asking about any "special tool", I suppose that the black screw heads (made of plastic) on the top of each screw are gone and you have to release the single small brass screws?
Well, so just take a simple long-nosed pliers, it works. But take a bit care, avoid straight turning them, otherwise situation will become even more complicated....

Best regards

Great, you're welcome!

Another hint: ask at your local VAG dealer if these screws are still in stock... maybe they aren't dropped out of portfolio yet, so replace them... and no more trouble while loosening them, unless you don't plan to check your sparg plugs twice a day
