Iam new to VW engines
This is so dumb but is there a special spark spanner for beetle engines? I cannot get to mine due to the extension bar not giving enough room to turn them and the two plugs nearest me as i look at the engine are so hard to get to it seems impossible they can ever be removed without taking the engine out?

there are some geramn ones that work well or just buy a cheap ass tube spanner and use that.

If u can find the origional tube socket spanner that came with the car ... they work really well.
The other trick is to crack them all then get a big of rubber tube n push over the end off the plug n undo it out ...... n replace the same way ....................

got mine out with a cheap flexible head ratchet - one of the ones with the joint just below the ratchet head

Magnetic ones are good, cus it's a pain in the ass to drop a spark plug down onto the cylinders!

or if you have twin carbs cut a hole in the inner guards..............
