In this guide, we will cover the main instructions for removing and replacing the spark plugs in the Toyota Aurion VVT-I V6 engine. First, open the hood and remove the plastic engine cover; then remove the hoses above the valve cover and unscrew the connector bolts for the spark plugs, as shown in the video.

At this point, use a socket wrench with an extension to unscrew and remove the six spark plugs, replacing them with new ones (with the same thread pitch); screw them in by hand and then tighten with the wrench!

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
