Part: Spark plugs

How do you change the spark plugs on a Volkswagen Polo? First, open the engine compartment and lift the bonnet, then disconnect the battery terminals. Remove the soundproofing panel covering the engine, and using a screwdriver, take off the coils on the cylinder head; unscrew the spark plugs with a socket wrench and pull them out of the cylinder head. Take the new spark plugs and guide them into the cylinder head using the extension of the socket wrench. Tighten the spark plugs and connect the ignition coils to each spark plug with the new connectors. Finally, close the engine bonnet and test the vehicle.
