Digsy Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I recently did mine in about an hour and a half. it wasn't as bad as I thought but it was my second attemp because first time the plug leads started to come apart in my hands, so I had to order a new set of those and re do the whole job a week later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jive Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 First time took me ages as I was having major problems with the car (long story .. don't ask) and that was just removing them to diagnose the engine problem. 2nd time took me about two hours due to fighting for the same space with me Dad I reckon I could change them in about 3/4 hour or even quicker, once you've done it and know what to remove etc it's a very simple job.

simon2610 Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 What tools did you you use to get underneath the throttle body, there's hardly any room? i used a tilted extension on the 3rd plug i had to put the spark plug socket in first then i clipped the tilted bit on then the extension the 4th plug was slightly easier but not by much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
