How to replace the spark plugs on an Opel Corsa 1.2 diesel

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa D - Years 2006-2014
Part: Spark plugs

Let's change the spark plugs on our Opel Corsa. We remove the plastic cover of the motor which is press-fit, then we remove the coil wiring, then with a 45mm Torks wrench we go to remove the bolts that hold the coil itself. Now we remove the candles with a 16 mm wrench and a crooked tooth wrench to remove it from its housing. Now let's take the new candles (the kit of 4 candles costs about 23.00 euros at the main e-commerce chains). In the video they recommend inserting a piece of paper into the bush, at the time of insertion, in order to create a thickness to prevent the candle from falling into the housing, because then it becomes really problematic to recover and handle it. When you tighten the candle do not force too much, because it is aluminum and you risk damaging the thread. Now we can reposition the reel, screwing in the Torks screws, reattach the wiring and reposition the plastic casing. The work is finished.
