In this video we see how to change the spark plugs on a Seat Ibiza 1.2 16V (6L engine). Make sure the engine is cold and disconnect the negative battery cable; remove the engine cover and remove the ventilation system tube; often the oil cap is also in the way, so remove it and cover the opening and throttle body with lint-free cloths.

Disconnect the electrical connectors of each coil, unscrew the ground terminal that secures the coil group, remove the coils and number them to be able to put them back in their place. Clean carefully around the spark plug to prevent dirt from falling into the well, then remove the spark plug with a 16 mm socket with extension.

Before inserting the new spark plug, apply a light amount of copper paste on the threads. Screw it in by hand initially, and then tighten it to 25 Nm with a torque wrench.

Put the coils back in place, pushing them until you hear a "click"; put the connector back in place. Remove the protective cloths, reassemble the oil cap and PCV tube, reassemble the engine cover and reconnect the negative battery cable.

Job done.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
