Replacing the spark plugs on the engine

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Spark plugs

Disconnect the negative pole of the battery. Gently remove the plastic cover protecting the motor by simply lifting it upwards. In order not to confuse the cables, disconnect only the first spark plug. Using a 10 socket wrench, unscrew the sealing nut of the first spark plug and slide the pipette upwards. At the bottom of the cockpit is the first candle. Before proceeding with disassembly, carefully clean the pits with compressed air to eliminate any dirt that could fall into the combustion chamber. Using the special spark plug wrench, which has a rubber coupling device, gently insert it on the spark plug head and unscrew it. Be careful not to drop foreign bodies into the pit. Replace the spark plug with one of the same model by carefully inserting it into the well, always using the special wrench, turn it gently, checking that it is screwed.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
