On my '99 Bora its as per below. About halfway down into the engine. On mine it's a square type plug, as per photo on previous page and has metal clips either side which are squeezed together to release. (Photo is not my car BTW)

thanks for the help i shall check that out and see how it goes;)
well i tried this and it didnt really help me the light stayed on for longer and i thought i was on to something but sadly not......:zx11: the car still took a 2 attempts to start...
also found out that its misfiring on one cylinder when starting from cold it came up on vagcom as a fault id say it takes about 30 seconds before the last chamber ignites.....
What was the fault code number?
i have got a bit of hard to start problem from cold. I have a 90 ALH engine and usuually it takes a couple of turns before the car starts when its cold. i have no other problems with the car it runs great and starts ont he button when warm. ive had the coolant temp sensor replaced a while ago but it still can be a little troublesome to fire up int he morning. any ideas ? :confused:
Does it pump black smoke out when it eventually fires up? If it does, fit a new set of glow plugs.
well more greyish smoke. its odd because it would sounds like a car thats far past its best in the morning ..but its so not :p. you think i should try the glowplugs? ..i kno these things dont really use the plugs to start unless its below 5 degrees.
They are used more than you think.
eh will get that fault code at the weekend cant remember it offhand.....and for the record ive replaced my glow plugs, oil, oil filter, and fuel filter... and mine can be a bit smoky to on cold mornings but its definatly not black smoke...
