How to replace the spark plugs of the Opel Astra 1.4 Turbo

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Spark plugs

In this short guide we will see the instructions that will allow us to disassemble and replace the spark plugs of the Opel Astra 1.4 Turbo engine. First of all, we open the hood of the car and start unscrewing the two fixing screws of the spark plug coils, disconnecting its electrical connector; then we use a socket wrench with extension to unscrew and remove one by one all the spark plugs, as shown in the video. At this point we install the new spark plugs, of the right type and with the same pitch; we screw by hand and tighten gently with a wrench, reassembling the coils.
