[steveo29 0]

sorry its not a corrado, but i could use some advice

 

our mk2 polo has spat out number 1 plug and theres no threads left on the head

 

im hoping to attempt to helicoil it in situ

 

can anyone offer any advise, what tools will i need, how long should it take, how should i keep swarf out of plug hole etc

 

any advise at all, never used or seen a helicol before

 

what thread do i need?

It'd take it to an engineering company or find a mobile repairer. Helicoiling is cheap enough to leave to someone with all the gear and who's done it before. I think my mate paid £30 to have no.1 cylinder Helicoiled with the head in situ on his Golf VR6.
