Replacing the spark plugs on an Opel Insignia? Remove the spark plugs from the engine bay. Take off the cover above the engine soundproofing panel, then remove the coils from the cylinder head using a screwdriver or pliers (unscrew the screws on top of the coil bar). Remove the coil bar from the cylinder head.

Next, use a socket to unscrew the spark plugs and pull them out of the cylinder head.

Take the new spark plugs and guide them into the cylinder head with the socket extension, then tighten them. Refit the coil bar and the cover at the end of the assembly.
