or use an Allen key bit in combination with a ratchet spanner or open ended spanner. A bit of a faff but can be done easily enough________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

Cover should get past the master cylinder without having to remove it. XSi engine looks slightly different but should still wiggle off to reveal coil packs.________________________________________ 1999 GTi-6 (china blue)1999 Rallye (black) |

Probably, yea. I remember having the same problem before which is why I don't bother running a cover anymore.________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |
