Is your car having ignition issues? Replace the spark plugs on a Golf 5. First, lift the bonnet, then locate the cylinder head where the ignition coils are. Unscrew the securing bolts next to the coils, disconnect the coils from above the spark plugs: unscrew the damaged spark plugs from the cylinder head.

Take the new spark plugs and use a socket extension to guide them into the cylinder head, tighten them, and reconnect the power coils to each spark plug.

Close the bonnet once the replacement is complete.
