Any suggestions or tips on removing the plenum?

degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is
worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing
to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a
miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so
by the exertions of better men than himself."

Don't drink more than one beer before you start. Be brave. Make sure you
have the right size socket tools and extensions . It does come apart and go
back together. There is a PT fan web site that actually posts a step by step
guide, but that is not all that essential. Be sure to pick up a set of dual
tipped plat plugs before you start so you don't have to do this again. Champ
has an OEM approved plug for this application. Again the PT web sits list
the proper part number. I got mine at NAPA. Don't know if they are
recommended in the turbo's. Again, the web sits are the best source for
information on this.

Not yet, anyway. Good thing you know how to do it -- you'll be swapping
those dual-tip platinum plugs out for proper ones before you know it.

Detailed instructions with pictures are on this site. I replaced mine with
dual tip platinum plugs with these instructions -- no problem at all.

The procedure with pictures has been there for a long time, however you do
have to subscribe now to see the detailed intructions.
The double platnium plugs work great and have done so for almost 10,000
miles. They reduced the "stumbling" which seems to be a characteristic of
the non-turbo 5 speeds. So no, I won't be swapping them out for anything
but another set of the same plugs for as long as I own the car!

Mostly I was trying to tell him that Bosch Platinum spark plugs are just
as shitty as Bosch Oxygen sensors.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Changing PT Cruiser Spark Plugs |

I think hes trying to tell you that Champion has designated a different
platinum plug to use with the PT, I think it has a different heat range and
the electrode end is tapered/designed differently. Also, there is much
discussion about using a smaller gap, which is supposed to cure the
"stumbling". I had the original platinum plugs in and changed to the new
ones, along with 8.5 mm wires.
There are a couple of good threads about it on PTLinks.com and other
forums.
Good Luck;

Bosch makes terrific dishwashers, very good power tools, excellent
starters and alternators, good and bad Oxygen sensors, poor spark
plugs, poor spark plug wires, and the usual mix of hits and misses that
one sees from virtually all large polyvalent corporations. If you're truly
judging spark plugs by the performance of a dishwasher, you are a very
intellectually-challenged individual. But then, you're the same dope who's
always making unsupported and unsupportable assertions based on your
little slivers of marginally-applicable experience, if even that, so I
shouldn't be surprised to see this latest inanity from you.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Changing PT Cruiser Spark Plugs |

While you are on the subject, how are the Bosch washers and clothes
driers?
