Video tutorial

Today we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the spark plugs of the engine of the Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6i. First, we open the hood of the car and start by removing the upper plastic cover, unscrewing the side screws; then we disconnect the spark plug connectors, as shown in the video.

At this point, we use a socket wrench with extension to unscrew and remove the four spark plugs one by one; we gently screw the spark plugs by hand and then tighten them with a wrench (preferably a torque wrench), finally fixing the connectors and starting the engine!
