Instructions for Replacing Spark Plug Leads

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

To carry out this maintenance, first ensure the engine is cold to avoid unpleasant burns. To access the spark plug leads, you must first remove the air filter housing by detaching the support spring from the exhaust manifold and unscrewing the two fixing bolts. Once the filter box is removed, disconnect the lead from the spark plug and the ignition coil, and free the lead so you can pull it out, then proceed in reverse for the installation of the new one. Repeat the same step for replacing the other leads.
