Replacing Spark Plugs on a VW Passat

Model: Volkswagen Passat B6, 3C - Years 2005-2010
Part: Spark plugs

Remove the spark plugs from the top of the engine cylinder head of a VW Passat. Lift the engine cover release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard and raise the front bonnet. Remove the engine cover panel from the top of the head. Grip the coil with your hands and twist it to extract it from the head. Remove all coils from the head (check them). Use a socket to unscrew the spark plugs to be replaced (remove them from the head). Take the new spark plug and insert it into the engine head using the socket. Finally, refit the engine cover panel and test the vehicle.
