keron Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Should never wash the engines as the water gets into the connectrs of the electrical plugs and more so...on the na, the water travels down all the 6 spark plug chambers and causes the mis...so take all the plug leads out and try get the water out...you shouldn't need any parts tbh...

RobUK Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 A TT engine should do it Depends what you have washed, and what problems you are having... Have you tried drying off the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 get the vacum out and suck the water out from around the plugs,take the dizzy cap off and all the leads and get busy with the hair dryer take the connector off the ignitor aswell.

Josh Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 If your neighbour sets fire to your car, that'd dry it out I washed my engine today but used a damp/nearly dry sponge to do it. Only really washed the painted parts of the bay and wiped over the dirty parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biguns Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Any guides on what to remove to replace plugs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneybrendan Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) you need to undo the throttle body and slide it forward a bit.plus remove the plastic covers front and back.there 4 bolts holding the throttlebody to the y piece and 2 nuts holding the supporting bracket under the front of the throttle body.Also make sure you disconnect any wires that could be pulled on and the water pipe going to the throttle body.

j_jza80 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 get the vacum out and suck the water out from around the plugs,take the dizzy cap off and all the leads and get busy with the hair dryer take the connector off the ignitor aswell. Just be careful if you're using your mums best vacuum cleaner, most don't like a drink, especially if the bag/chamber is already full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 you'll need a 12mm extended socket to get the throttle body off Andy. Remove the air filter housing and pipework first and then start on the throttle body. It's actually quite simple once you get into it but the sign of massive amounts of parts and bolts building up is a bit daunting..!! You then need to get the spark plug cover off and you will see the recesses where the plugs are. I would get an air line or a can of compressed air from Tescos and blow the water out of the plug gaps. Then take it for a long run..!! H.

pedrosixfour Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 If the engine was running ok before you washed it, I'd throw some dirt on it and see if that cured the misfire. Makes sense, doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Boltsthx H i have removed all the intake stuff and the bracket under the throttle body and the two bolts going through the top of the body but can't see the other two bolts They are underneath if memory serves. You'll need an extended socket to get to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevins Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 As said above dry up any standing water in the plug recess's and then go crazy with some wd40 on all the connections with multi plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
