How to change the spark plugs on a Seat Ibiza 3 6L

Model: Seat Ibiza 6L - Years 2002-2009
Part: Spark plugs

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.
