[Blitzkrieg989]

I was looking on AudiDIY.com for a guide on the 2.8 spark plug change and it only has the 2.7 Diy are they the same? can i go off this DIY? its a C5 2.8 A6 Thanks

i used this guide. there are some differences, but they are obvious.

the 2.8 is many times easier to change than the 2.7t.. you dont ahve a shitlaod of intake plumbing to move and remove/ replace... But yeah just basically follow those steps they gave you. those swiveling sockets are a lifesaver btw. best tool ever.

on the 2.8 you may have to screw the coolant reservoir out of place for a bit

I replaced my coolant reservoir when I did my plugs. It was old, cruddy and leaking. Watch out for that plastic T fitting on the lines, mine crumbled and had to be replaced with a $3 brass fitting from Kragen.
