Do you want to remove the spark plugs on your Volkswagen Polo? Let's see in this video how to do it. Pull the engine compartment release lever and lift the front bonnet, securing it. Remove the plastic soundproofing panel covering the engine, then disconnect the various wiring present on the cylinder head using a screwdriver.

Remove the coils by hand, use your socket spanner to unscrew the spark plugs, and pull them out of the cylinder head.

Take the new spark plugs and guide them with the extension of the socket spanner into the engine head, tighten them, and reconnect the respective power connectors. Finally, reattach the soundproofing panel and close the engine bonnet.
