Thanks for the how-to video! I guess I may be on the OCD side, but I usually change out each plug one at a time, that way I don't have open exposed spark plug holes that dust and crud can fall into the cylinder by accident.

Thanks for the comment. That's a great idea. I used to do that, but it was quicker to use the same tool to take them all out at the same time, and it's not very dusty where I work.

Thank you for your video it has been a great help. I have been able to change the spark plugs in my car without being an expert

God job, except you never drop the plugs into the slot. They could tap the entry point and change the gap.

I attempted to change my plugs today and found my extension which is over all about 2 and 3/4's inches is too short. Came in a 107 piece Hyper Tough SAE and Metric set. The ratchet touches engine and dip stick. I Thought it was a standard 3 inch extension but I guess it's not.. or Is this size what they call a 3 inch extension? I think a 6 inch would be too long. In any event.. I'm off in the morning to find a proper 3 inch extension and Hope it works. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that. Let us know if you were able to get the right extension and get the plugs replaced!

@@ColinLeung Yep got em changed out. I found I had to use the new 3 inch extension I bought And the 2 and 3/4 inch extension. It's purring like a kitten. Now if only I could make it Roar like a Lion! LOL

niemals die Zündkerze in den Schacht fallen lassen! es könnte die Außenelektrode verbiegen(never let the spark plug fall into the shaft! it could bend the outer electrode

Any idea why my car could be so bad mpg 2010 1.0 petrol

@ColinLeung Жыл бұрын

There are a lot of factors that contribute to poor mpg. Tire pressure, heavy throttle, old spark plugs, clogged air filter, old engine oil, valve adjustments off, etc. I'd check the basic and cheap stuff first on the list.

@markfiges999 Жыл бұрын

And there's me thinking all petrol (gas) smarts had 6 spark plugs (2 per cyl) and if you don't change the hard to get at set they burnout exhaust valves.

I read that 450 and 452 have six sparkplugs. 451 and 453 have 3
