How to replace the spark plugs of a Mini One 1.4

Model: Mini Mini R60, Countryman1 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Spark plugs

Before we can start, we will have to go and open the front hood of our Mini One 1.4. So let's start by disengaging and removing the top engine cover. After that, we will have to move the sleeve connected to the air filter block, and then move the cover of the high pressure pump. By doing so, we will have reached the coils connected to the spark plugs. We then proceed by disconnecting the relative electrical connectors, and then disassembling the coils themselves, unscrewing the relative fixing screws. At this point, we will have to unscrew and remove the spark plugs themselves, and we will have finished the disassembly. To fit the new spark plugs, we will have to follow these instructions in reverse, and we will have completed the replacement.
