i thought someone posted that there is a tool for the 16V?  or is it
just for the 8V...  there MUST be a tool, though.  there is no way VW
would pull them out like that (or with a "wonder bar", which by the way
is a GREAT tool!!).  besides, lookit all the "special VW tools" they
have...

i would think so since they are being sucked on from the other side by
the vacuum pressure all the time...
