Today we will explain how to replace the spark plugs of the Opel Meriva model produced from 2003 to 2010. To perform the spark plug replacement, we need to open the front hood and cover the bumper with a cloth to prevent it from getting scratched during the replacement.

Using a T20 key, we unscrew the engine fastening elements, disconnect the ignition coil connector, and loosen the screws that secure the coil.

Using a spark plug removal key, we unscrew and remove the spark plugs in order. Clean any rust residues and grease the new spark plugs.

Insert the spark plugs and connect the coil connector. Mount the cover and close the hood to complete the job.
