How to Replace the Spark Plugs in an Opel Zafira B

Model: Vauxhall Zafira Zafira B, A05, MK 2 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Spark plugs

In this video tutorial, see how to replace the spark plugs in an Opel Zafira B by following some simple steps: first, get into the vehicle, turn off the engine, and pull the handbrake; lift the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod. Move the engine cover to the right as shown in the video; remove the cover, then disconnect the connector from the coil; take a Torx key and unscrew the coil mounting elements; once unscrewed, carefully remove the coil using both hands. After removing the coil, blow out the spark plug holes; the next step is to take a 16mm socket to unscrew and remove the spark plugs. Once all four spark plugs are removed, replace them with new ones (to a torque of 25 Nm, without overtightening) and reassemble all parts in reverse order.
