To replace the spark plugs on a Volkswagen Transporter, open the bonnet to access the screws securing the front bumper. Remove the bumper to allow easier access to the top of the engine block.

Disconnect the coils connected to the injectors, which can now be removed to access the underlying spark plugs. Now, remove the old spark plugs from their housing and insert the new ones, refitting all previously removed parts.
