hey guys GarageKing here and we have a P0301 code
worst of all it's on an Audi so you're thinking it's gonna cost you a bunch of
cash, it's actually not that bad these codes are standardized you're here
watching this video because you got your code somehow, I don't know how but you
found this video and I'm gonna help you out so let's all get together let's not
run away and we're gonna fix this thing so let me verify the codes on my scanner
and then let's get to it so we got the cylinder one misfire so what we're gonna
do is we're gonna swap the coil pack and the spark plug from cylinder 1 to
cylinder 4 and see if we still have it if we still have it still at number 1 we
know obviously we eliminated the coil which is kind of expensive and we've
eliminated a spark plug which I think you know they're not cheap either, these
ones on these vehicles so what we got to do is swap cylinder 1 and summer 4 so at
the front of the engine this one here cylinder 1, that one there is cylinder
number 4 so we're gonna get in there and then we're gonna just swap them and then
we'll run it around for a bit and see if the light comes back on. To get the cover off
first for these coils we got to take off the oil filler cap so we're going to
take that off and we're gonna pull this off just like so
There we go, just like that, once that's off you should put the oil filler cap back on
because you don't want anything falling in there so it's just good practice to
put it back on and then there we can see there are our coils and our spark plugs
right underneath okay so here we can get a little bit close up with the engine
and we can see the coils there there's number one, there is
number four right there so what we have to do is we have to disconnect these
little tabs right in there for each one and we're gonna pull the wiring harness
back and then these coils should just pull should just pull straight out so
we're just gonna be taking these coil wires off here I know it's very
difficult to okay so it's almost impossible to show it like that so what
I did is I just popped them up, but here I wanted to show you okay yes so there's a
little tab just like that so what you have to do to lift this tab is on the
top part right there, this has to be pushed back so see if you push back with
your finger like I know it's hard to get my finger in there but they're good to
show you push back and then there you can see I'm lifting it up just like that
and then slide them up now we should just be able to pull them out so with
this one here we should be just be able to turn it you can see I'm actually
turning it just like this
and I may need to get a screwdriver that got my handy-dandy screwdriver so I can
go like this and just pry a little bit now you want to be careful when you're
prying to that you don't want to actually crack the coil last thing you
want to do is crack it because if you crack it then and then you're gonna need
a new one for sure.... There we go that's what she looks like
that's a coil that's number #1 so now we're gonna take out the #4
coil and then we're just gonna take out the spark plugs and we're going to swap
them so let's move over to number 4
there we go okay so now we're gonna take a plugs out we can see what I have here
is an extension 5/8th is the socket size we want to do them by hand
now one's loose will get it up with a magnet when we're done I'll show you how
to do that okay and it looks like we'll need to get a magnet to take them up
I'll show you how to do that here's our magnet
and they both look pretty much identical so we'll see what the problem is we're
gonna switch them and run them okay I'm also putting none just putting the plugs
back in now so there's a spark plugs I have this little rubber tool and what it
is just a hollow end and what it does is it goes on to the it goes on to the plug
just like this and it holds it so it prevents it from cross threading and makes
it actually really easy to put put the spark plug back in I can feel where it
goes, and it doesn't allow me to provide much torque so this way you won't
cross through the spark plug at all, now we're gonna make sure you put them in
the right place this thing's gonna go here and then this
one that came out of #4 is now gonna to go into #1 one just like that
now we're gonna clip these back on
back on
All Done!!!
