Spark Plug Replacement on a Volkswagen Polo

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Spark plugs

Replacing damaged spark plugs on a VW Polo? Let’s look at the disassembly of the spark plugs. Open and lift the front bonnet, remove the soundproofing panel. The spark plugs are located under the plastic coils. Disconnect the coil by hand (grip it and twist it to extract it from the cylinder head). Unscrew the spark plugs with a socket wrench (extract them from the cylinder head) and take the new spark plug, inserting it into the engine head with the socket wrench. Refit the coil on top of the spark plug. Replace all the spark plugs. After replacement, reattach the engine cover panel.
