Replacing the spark plugs on a Citroen Xsara is easy. Start by removing the cover that protects the engine.

Take off the two clips on the engine body. Unscrew the four screws holding the cover over the spark plugs, and remove the connectors.

Using a T-bar with a 16 mm socket, unscrew the four spark plugs from their housing. With the same tool, reposition the spark plugs, ensuring they do not fall while you place them.

Refit the cover over the spark plugs, secure it with the four screws, replace the two clips, and reattach the engine cover. The job is complete.
