vw rule 19 Posted February 7, 2014 Hello there, I've managed to get hold of a few HT Removal Tools for the MK2 Golf / Corrado 16v engines, these are brand new VW / OEM for the 16v HT Leads, They are made of black thick plastic and usually they clip onto HT lead number one, ready for when you have to remove the leads to change your spark plugs. I think years ago when you were able to purchase them from the main dealers, they were orange or white in colour, but these are black with the VAG logo on them, complete with part number 027-905-448A Expecting delivery to me by Monday 10th / Tuesday 11th February of next week, might be able to get hold of some more, not sure yet. Looks like I'll be getting 4 in total, 1 for my self and 1 for Mr LARCENY FINK for his MK2 Golf, but I've just got to double check with him to make sure that he still wants one. So this will leave 2 left over for sale. Cost is £1.99 per each Postage is £2.60 for standard 2nd class delivery, this is a NONE tracking service. Will be packed and sent in a jiffy parcel, a small one. Many thanks. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vw bobby 10 Posted February 7, 2014 Hi Si, How does this tool actually work? Cheers Bobby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted February 8, 2014 I'll post up some photo's tomorrow of my old one, which is still on my car at the moment. The tool clips over the top head of HT lead 1, and when you need to remove the HT leads you lift off the tool off HT lead 1, and place it on the back of the lead where it hooks over, then using your index finger you lift the tool up which in turn lifts the HT lead off the spark plug. I'll show you tomorrow in the photo's that I'm going to post up. Many thanks Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted February 8, 2014 Here's some photo's of my old HT lead tool: This is it clipped to the head of the HT lead. [ATTACH=CONFIG]77488[/ATTACH] This is just starting to lift the tool off. [ATTACH=CONFIG]77489[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77490[/ATTACH] Now with the tool completely lifted off, turn it round the other way and attach it, to the back of which ever HT Lead you are wanting to remove. [ATTACH=CONFIG]77491[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77492[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77493[/ATTACH] Now the tool is placed on the back of the HT Lead, using your index finger lift the tool up, which in turn will lift the HT Lead up and off the spark plug. Repeat the same procedure on the other HT Leads, if you're removing all of them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]77494[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77495[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77496[/ATTACH] Cheers.

vw rule 19 Posted February 8, 2014 Quick Update: I've just received the new HT Lead Tools today, I was told I should have delivery next week so they've arrived early. I'll post up some photo's of the new ones and compare them with the old one on my car. Be back shortly. Many thanks. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vw rule 19 Posted February 8, 2014 Update: Right these are the new HT Lead removing tools, the part number on them is 027-905-448A [ATTACH=CONFIG]77523[/ATTACH] Looking at my old HT lead removing tool, the part number on it is: 054-905-448 [ATTACH=CONFIG]77524[/ATTACH] This is the new and old one together. [ATTACH=CONFIG]77527[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77528[/ATTACH] The new one you can see is slightly taller, due to the small hook piece on the front edge, what I've done to my new one is cut that small hook piece off, to make it the same as the old one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]77529[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77531[/ATTACH] As you can see they are now looking the same [ATTACH=CONFIG]77536[/ATTACH] The far left one hasn't been cut down, the centre one is my old one, and the far right one is the one I've cut the hook piece off. [ATTACH=CONFIG]77537[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77538[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77539[/ATTACH] I had to cut the small hook piece off my new one, as it wouldn't quite fit over my genuine VW HT Leads, where as on the none genuine HT leads it might fit over, with out having to remove the small hook piece. This is the new one that I cut the small hook piece off, it now fits on to my genuine VW HT Leads [ATTACH=CONFIG]77540[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77541[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]77542[/ATTACH] But the new ones won't clip on to the head of the HT Lead like this. [ATTACH=CONFIG]77543[/ATTACH] But does fit on the back of the HT Lead like this, when you are wanting to remove the HT Lead off the spark plug. [ATTACH=CONFIG]77540[/ATTACH] The other 3 new ones I haven't cut the hook piece off them, only on the one that I'm keeping for my self, if anyone is interested in one of the 3 new ones, then please give me a shout. If not then I'll just keep them as spares, or fit one on all four HT Leads. Many thanks. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
