To replace the spark plugs on the Saab 9-5, open the bonnet to access the engine compartment. You will need to loosen the cover of the glow plugs, which is located on top of the engine, by undoing the appropriate fixing screws.

Removing the cover will also remove all the coils corresponding to each spark plug, which are adjacent to the cover. Using a 16 mm spanner, you can extract all the spark plugs from their housing.

At this point, install the new spark plugs and refit the engine cover with the corresponding coils.
