How to replace the spark plugs on the Volkswagen Up 1.0 MPI

Model: Volkswagen Up MK 1 - Years 2011-2024
Part: Spark plugs

In this guide we will see the steps that will allow us to disassemble and replace the spark plugs of the Volkswagen Up 1.0 MPI engine. First of all, we open the hood of the car and start disassembling and removing the air filter box, located on the top; then we disconnect the electrical connectors of the spark plug coils, removing them, as shown in the video. At this point we use a socket wrench with an extension to unscrew and remove the spark plugs, installing the new original ones; we screw them in gently by hand and then tighten with a wrench to the correct torque.
