Replacing Spark Plugs on VW Tiguan

Model: Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, MK 1 - Years 2007-2016
Part: Spark plugs

Replace the damaged spark plugs on a petrol Volkswagen Tiguan. Open the engine bay and lift the front bonnet, securing it in place. Disconnect the battery terminals. Remove the soundproofing cover from the engine, then take off the coils from the cylinder head. Use a socket spanner to unscrew the spark plugs and pull them out of the cylinder head. Take the new spark plugs and guide them into the cylinder head with the extension of the socket spanner, tighten them, and connect the power coils to each spark plug. Refit the electrical connectors. Close the engine bonnet and test the vehicle for proper operation.
