How to Replace the Spark Plugs on a Saab 9-3

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Spark plugs

Release the bonnet from the appropriate lever and lift it. Now you will need access to the area beneath the upper engine cover, so remove it by unscrewing the bolt that secures it. After removing it, you will have access to the coils where the spark plug is located for each coil. Unscrew the bolts that secure each individual coil and extract it; this will allow you to remove the spark plug from the tip of the coil. Now, all you need to do is position the new spark plugs and retrace your steps to reassemble the various components.
