Newbie question:
How do you actually get access into the valves on my 1.8L? I 've set valves on other cars many times before, but I can't figure out how you get into the (heavily obscured) valve covers! |

Save your knuckles. Put a shop rag thru the bail and jerk downwards. The rest is easy.
And remember, proper orientation of the rocker box cover is that they are installed with the VW symbol upside down. |
