Spark Plug Refresh Guide — Featuring NGK
> Spark plugs are absolute heroes in petrol engines, sparking up that air-fuel mix to get you going. But over time, those electrodes wear down and grime builds up, leading to a sluggish engine and wasted fuel across all sorts of vehicles.
Signs It's Time for a Tune-Up
• Engine's a bit slow to get going
• Rough idling or the engine's missing a beat
• Drinking more petrol than usual
• Losing a bit of grunt or acceleration
• That pesky Check Engine Light has popped on
Will it pass WOF?
While worn spark plugs won't directly flunk your WOF, they can definitely lead to higher emissions or engine misfires, which might just cause a WOF hiccup. Keeping your spark plugs shipshape ensures your engine runs sweet and passes with flying colours.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 4/10 (Can swing a bit depending on your engine's layout)
Estimated Time: 30 minutes - 2 hours
Tools Required: Spark plug socket wrench, ratchet, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool (if not pre-gapped), dielectric grease.
