AUDI 2.7T TO 2.0T COIL PACK CONVERSION KIT INSTALLATION

REMOVING THE ORIGINAL COILS

Step 1:
Remove the three screws for the coolant reservoir, disconnect the electrical
connector underneath, and move the coolant reservoir to the side. It is not
necessary to disconnect any coolant lines.

COOLANT RESERVOIR

AIR BOX COVER

C AUTION

Step 2:
Remove the air box cover, air box duct, and upper engine covers.
The coolant T fitting near the reservoir is very
fragile and can break easily. If a replacement is
needed, it is available on our website: ES470541

UPPER ENGINE COVERS

Step 3:
Using a 7mm socket, unbolt, disconnect, and remove the original
ignition modules.

Step 4:
Loosen the hose clamp on the end of the mass air flow sensor and disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor. Then release the four spring
clips holding the air box lid in place. Remove the air box lid and mass air
flow sensor together as one piece.

REMOVING THE ORIGINAL COILS

NOTE

Step 5:
Loosen both coil covers (shown here off the vehicle) by turning the
fasteners 1/4 turn counter clockwise with a flat blade screwdriver.
Remove the oil cap and lift up on both covers to remove them.

The oil cap must be removed in order to lift off

the LH coil cover.

Step 6:
Using a 10mm socket, remove the bolts holding the original coils to the
valve covers. Slightly raise each coil, release the electrical connector
retainer, then disconnect the electrical connector and remove the coil.

INSTALLING THE NEW COILS

NOTE

Step 1:
Using a 5mm allen, install a coil spacer plate on each valve cover using
the six bolts provided for each plate. Install all six bolts on each spacer
plate until they are fully seated, then tighten the bolts.

The left and right coil spacer plates are different, so the coils will
only index into the plates one way. The plates are installed on the
correct side when the coil connectors point down and towards
the rear of the engine.

Step 2:
Push all six coils into place until they are fully seated.

INSTALLING THE NEW COILS

Step 3:
Connect the new coil adapter harnesses to the coils, making sure that the
connectors are fully seated. You should hear the connector locking tab click as

it locks into place.

The left and right harnesses are the same.

NOTE

Step 4:
The harness routing is the same for the left and right and is as follows: Each
harness will route towards the rear of the engine, make a 90 degree bend,
run up the rear edge of the valve cover, make another 90 degree bend and
run along the top edge of the valve covers until they connect to the factory
wiring harness.
Bend the harnesses as needed for routing.

INSTALLING THE NEW COILS

Step 5:
Connect the three harness connectors on each side to the factory coil
connectors. The three branches of each harness are different lengths, the
shortest being the rear and the longest being the front.

Step 6:
Attach the LH and RH harness ground wires. There is an allen cap screw on
each side of the intake Y tube that can be used. Attach the ground wire
eyelets underneath these screws.

MODIFYING THE COIL COVERS

If you are reinstalling the coil covers on your car, you will need to cut a
clearance notch in each cover so they will fit over the coil harnesses.
1. Hold the covers in position, mark the area where the cut out is required, and cut the notch in each cover. You
can see the notches we cut in our covers.
2. We used a straight air grinder with a carbide bit, however you can use a variety of different tools to cut this
notch, depending on the tools that you have.
