I have driven the car 100 miles since the spark plug and ignition coil change; from what I can tell there is no smell or smoke coming from the exhaust and the car drives fine.

 

Loren, would you happen to know what these green seals could be?

 

The green seals are just a different year part - still oil tube seals. They do not belong on the spark plugs.

Thank you so much Loren!

 

So these oil tube seals are fine not being replaced?

Unless you have oil on the plugs, the seals should be fine.

Gotcha, which I will check when I have the time. 🙂 

 

Loren what part replaced the green oil tube seals? If I am going through the effort of checking the plugs again I should probably have the part that replaces those seals and new spark plugs in the event of the current ones having oil on them.

As JFP previously said it is a pretty big job to replace those seals. It could be that the part fell in there when someone changed the seals previously. A basic rule is if it is not leaking then don't worry about it.

Thanks Loren! I am not challenging whether you are right I just don't know what this is (see attached) meant for? I have looked at schematics and couldn't find anything unless I overlooked it. Any help is appreciated.

 

The ring in the picture came out of the spark plug hole when I was removing the spark plug. I have a low milage Cayenne S and I believe these were the original spark plugs from the factory that I replaced. 

 

Oh wow- recently while I was doing plugs and coils, after pulling out 5-8 I noticed something extremely similar sitting on top of the engine near one of the plug/coil openings. Didn't see it when I pulled the cover off, didn't notice it fall out but noticed it after I'd pulled all the coils + plugs on that side and was about to put in the new ones. Mine was more a light beige color whereas yours looks to me more greenish? Also, mine looked more deteriorated. Wish I'd kept it or taken a pic.

Interesting, I haven't checked my plugs for oil yet (I know kind of stupid) but I have run the car a couple hundred miles since I completed the job and I cannot tell or smell anything abnormal happening... yet...

I can't tell the size from the pictures but I wonder if these are orings from a compression/leakdown tester that fell off when removing the tool...

I can take a picture of calipers measuring the oring size if that's helpful?
