Replacing the spark plugs of the Opel Zafira model A is an operation that can be carried out independently even if you are not an expert in the field, thanks also to our guide. To start, open the front hood of the vehicle and, using a T30 key, remove the engine cover.

Immediately after, use a combination key size 10 to unscrew the fastening screws of the ignition coil, then disconnect the high voltage cable of the spark plugs. With a socket wrench size 16, disconnect the spark plugs from the ignition coil; remove the spark plugs, maintaining the order in which they were installed in the engine.

Apply a thin layer of high voltage grease on the surface of the new spark plugs and connect the ignition coil to the spark plug. Screw in the fastening screws and connect the high voltage cable.

Mount the engine cover and close the front hood. Get into the vehicle to start the engine and check the vehicle's operation after replacing the spark plugs.
