Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Spark plugs

In this video tutorial, you will learn how to remove and replace the engine spark plugs on a second series Fiat Punto with a 1.2 Petrol engine. First, open the bonnet and remove the air filter box by unscrewing the side bolts with a socket spanner; then disconnect the rubber hose located underneath, as shown in the video. Next, remove the four spark plug leads and using a socket spanner with an extension, unscrew the spark plugs to remove them; simply replace them with the new ones, screwing them in by hand first and then tightening with a spanner (preferably a torque wrench)!
