You don't need to remove the intake manifold. I used
a spark plug socket, with an extension and a swivel point -- Snap-On has a
socket that has all this in one. I put the Bosch Platinum +4's in and
have been happy with them. I had Bosch Silver's but after 30,000 miles
of hard driving, the electroids where just about gone.

Hey there,
I am about to replace the plugs on my '97 Jetta GT (4cyl) and
want to know who has done this....
Reason I ask this is because I notice the intake manifold is
sorta in the F* 'in way!! Is it needed to remove the intake
manifold to change the plugs? ....if so does the gasket need
to be replaced as well? Also which plugs are you using in your
change...Bosch...Split fire....???
Thanks again,
