Changed the T5 plugs yesterday - don't think any more than pots 1, 2 and 3 had been changed since the car was built (approx 115K on the clock), all three way over tightened ! Pots 4 & 5 were much easier to remove, almost certainly at the correct original torque perhaps pointing to "someone" not moving the turbo tube to get to the coils
The gaps on all were huge, literally no exposed electrodes left on 4 and 5!
I deftly broke the locking clip on pot number 3's coil connector when I removed it but managed to securely cable tie it back into position.
