Do you want to remove the spark plugs from your Volkswagen Up? This video details how to proceed. Pull the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and lift the front bonnet, securing it. Remove the engine soundproofing panel; unscrew the securing bolts of the coils with the appropriate socket spanner, take it with your hands and twist it to remove it from the cylinder head.

Use a socket spanner to unscrew the spark plugs (remove them from the cylinder head) and take the new spark plug and insert it into the cylinder head with the socket spanner. Finally, reassemble the plastic cylinder head cover panel at the end of the assembly.
