2015 s3 spark plug rubber boots

[Hazs364]

Hi was just wondering if anyone has just replaced the rubber boots for the spark plugs instead of the full coil pack. Have seen there is loads on ebay and if anyone had any recommendations?
Cheers

Is there something wrong with your boots? I had a coil go out on my 2003 e46 M3 and replaced them all out of caution. I'm thinking of replacing mine at some mileage TBD, with the APR ones.

I believe they havent been greased properly when last done. Only just bought the car and came to do the spark plugs and the rubber boots are seized. Coil pack is fine. Thanks for the advise

Maybe silicone spray to get them out, then white grease or dialectric when you install? I will take another look as I just did plugs at 40k miles. Would hate to have a coil break just doing plugs on a Saturday!

good find on the APR units. i like how they say its also performance upgraded and not just red for looks.
