Remove the plastic engine cover: as this is a V6 engine, the three spark plugs on the front bank are easily accessible, but those on the rear bank can only be reached after removing the aluminium intake manifold located at the top of the engine. Proceed with the removal of the manifold by unscrewing the front and rear fixing screws, disconnecting any interfering hoses and wiring, and lifting it carefully to ensure no debris enters the intake ducts.

At this point, proceed with the replacement of the spark plugs.
