Raymond Junior Member Offline Posts: 111 Glasgow Gender: Drives: Omega 2.6 Elite	Urgent help needed 11. Feb 2011 at 16:27 I am in the process of changing the plugs on my 2.6. Got bank 1,3,5 done no problems. Started on 2,4,6. I have just removed the coil pack to find all 3 wells full of oil! How do I get the oil out of the wells before changing the plugs. HELP!!

You only need to get "most" of it out ... if a small amount goes past the plug as you remove it, it won't matter.

Even though you need to do the breathers and cover gaskets soonest .. don't rush the job .. genuine Vx gaskets ONLY and use the guide to do the job. First time will take most of a day IME .. gets down to 1/2 a day when you know what you are doing !!

Thanks guys my mate came up with a syringe and we got most of it out. TBH I don't know when the plugs were last changed, never I think and the oil in the wells was black. With coil pack put there was no obvious signs where the oil was coming from, the breathers have already been done last week when I changed the oil. I will add the gaskets to my list of things to do, it seems to be getting longer, lol. Thanks again to the best forum on the net!!
