Instructions for Replacing Spark Plugs

Model: Kia Picanto 2A, MK 1 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Spark plugs

Firstly, carry out this maintenance with the engine cold to avoid unpleasant burns. Replace one spark plug at a time by disconnecting the lead and unscrewing the spark plug with the appropriate socket. The socket has a rubber insert that holds the spark plug during removal, allowing for easy extraction. Once the old spark plug is removed, insert the new one by screwing it in manually first, then tighten it with the socket without overdoing it. Finally, reconnect the lead, perhaps after cleaning the electrode with contact spray.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
