Video tutorial

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.
