spark plugs wires won't stay on

[Boostedh22]

I have a turbo h22 and everytime I drive one of the spark plug wires pops off and won't stay on when you put it back on. I tried new plugs and wires, dose anyone have anything else i can try?

new plugs and wires? what kinda wires are they? The only other thing that holds them down is the valve cover...

look inside the end of the wire(the boot), inside there you will see the metal ring that snaps onto the plug, use a pair of pliers to squeeze that ring and make it a little tighter then it will probably stay on the plug better...hope that helps

That's what I had to do for my Beetle one time, never happened again.

Make sure that ring is not missing. A lot of times people are aware they have to pull the plug wires from the bottom (base) or else you will rip out the contact.

I second the notion...

how much are you boosting? what's the condition of the motor?
i've read about motors with a ton of blowby and/or crank case pressure causing the spark plug wires to pop off hehe.

I really hope you don't believe that. :confused:
