Part: Spark plugs

Replacing spark plugs on a BMW X3? Let's look at the removal and replacement process. Raise the hood, secure it, and remove the torsion bar. Remove the engine soundproofing panel. Disconnect the coil above the spark plug and grasp the spark plug with your hands, twisting it to extract it from the cylinder head. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the spark plug. Insert the new spark plug into the cylinder head and tighten it with the socket wrench. Replace all damaged spark plugs inside the engine. Cover the engine with the plastic panel and reassemble all previously removed parts.
