How to replace the spark plugs of the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 FC, FN - Years 2002-2009
Part: Spark plugs

Today we will explain how to replace the spark plugs of the Citroen C3 model 1. To perform the spark plug replacement, we open the front hood and cover the front bumper with a cloth to avoid scratching the surface. We disconnect the PCV valve and the crankcase ventilation tube from the intake manifold, remove the crankcase ventilation tubes, and disconnect the ventilation tube from the crankcase. We disconnect the throttle connector and the ignition coil connector. We remove the cap from the manifold and cover the valve cover to prevent dirt and other debris from entering. We remove the ignition coil bracket using a number 10 extension and a ratchet wrench. We remove the ignition coil from the spark plug hole, clean the dirt and dust from the spark plugs, and remove the spark plugs using a number 16 spark plug wrench. After removing the spark plugs and applying grease to the new ones, we install them using the number 16 wrench. We reattach the ignition coil into the spark plug hole and, using a ratchet wrench, insert the ignition coil bracket before connecting the coil to the manifold. We reattach the ventilation tubes and install the PCV valve.
