    Awesome. If you're just starting out servicing your own car(s), make sure to equip yourself with a decent filter removal tool. This is the same one you see me using in my video for 1.2TSi oil change, amzn.to/2KBZSCC, and is excellent quality. It will last you a lifetime. It needs a 3/8 drive though. If you have a 1/2 inch socket set, this is very similar and looks just as robust amzn.to/38F1WYg 1.2Tsi oil change kzread.info/dash/bejne/pouIlNaAYZbOecY.html - do let us know how you get on.

    YES, of course❗ Why didn't I think of that❓ The only cautionary note I would add though for others benefit is to be careful not to waggle them too hard. We don't want to break the ceramic on the plugs. If the ceramic breaks there'll be shards of ceramic in the plug hole which might subsequently get into the cyclinders and potentially do damage.

    Found if you install the zip ties and gently wriggle them as you are slowly pulling them out, you will over come the suction the rubber seal causes and you don't break the zip ties. I followed your tip and snapped the first zip tie but them used the wriggle method and got even the hard one out without breaking the zip tie. Thanks for your insight and method. Just done the full service, thanks to you cheers.

    Tried your method but all the 5mm cable ties all snapped, 7.5mm ties just too large and kept slipping. Bought a spark plug boot plier off amazon for around £20 inc postage and although not perfect did the job with a lot of wiggling, the use of a flat headed screwdriver where possible and wd40 spray. At 60kmiles I believe this was the first change (and will be the last!) which made the removal difficult. I think some of the rubber was perishing which didn't help.

    I have a question, a VW Polo 1.2 of 70 hp 6R, to change spark plugs is it imperative to buy originals from the brand so as not to make a mistake or can we buy brands like Bosch or NGK or similar in competition? I heard an engineer say that he saw a case where they put some NGKs and it went wrong after a few kilometers, which then went out.

    Any brand is fine. Get iridium plugs if you can - they last longer.

    La ringrazio immensamente per i consigli, volevo solo fare presente che il WD-40 che usa alla fine non va bene x i contatti elettrici e le alte temperature (vedere scheda tecnica), meglio usare grafite o lubrificante specifico o anche l alcool non sul motore caldo - alcool poi evapora) English: Sir, I want express a very deep thaknful feeling. Just a counsel, do not use WD-40, it lay on a film of isolation that do not allow passing electricity (see datasheet) best to use graphite or specific lubricants (alcohol is good on cold motor - alcohol at last evaporate). Sorry for my English

    Hey Giuseppe, never apologise for your English. My Italian(?) is non existant, so you're well ahead of me. Thanks for the suggestion. Stay safe my friend. Google translation to Italian: Ehi Giuseppe, non scusarti mai per il tuo inglese. Il mio italiano(?) è inesistente, quindi sei molto più avanti di me. Grazie per il suggerimento. Stai al sicuro amico mio.

    Sono di nuovo qua per un importante aggiornamento, oltre a non usare il WD-40, è necessario sgrassare la superficie degli elettrodi con uno spray x contatti elettrici o con alcool propilico, sia la punta delle candele (polo positivo superiore) sia l'elettrodo del cavo altrimenti la macchina potrebbe, andare in protezione con accensione spia EPC e altre. Questo errore è molto difficile da individuare e induce molti professionisti a optare per cambi di elementi molto costosi. English: I'm here again, important notice, as I said do not use WD-40 but use special electric contact cleaner or alcohol isopropylic (cold engine), you will save money and trouble so you don't go into troubles about error on dashboard on EPC signal lit and other error signals lighting on, or ECU going in protection mode. This inconvenient is very hard to find even by professional operators.

    Refer to the vehicle manual for the spark plug replacement interval. It is generally recommended to change after 40-60 thousand kilometers or after four engine oil changes. I received the original candle after 30,000 km / 10 years of vehicle age. So the time of the exchange also plays a role.

    Chain driven. So be sure to change the oil every 5-7,000 miles or twice a year. These long service intervals are no good for cam chains.
