Description

Spark Plug Replacement Guide — Featuring BOSCH
> Spark plugs, those little dynamos in your engine, are all about getting that air/fuel mix firing properly. Over time, they get a hiding from the heat and gunk, causing misfires and a drop in performance – especially in tough conditions for high-performance rigs like the Mercedes-Benz G 55 AMG or fuel-sipping hybrids like the Toyota Prius.

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Engine's misfiring, giving you a rough idle and hesitation.
• Fuel economy's gone down the drain.
• Engine's struggling to start.
• That pesky check engine light's lit up.
• Acceleration feels sluggish.

Will it pass WOF?
Worn-out spark plugs can pump out excessive emissions, which could mean a big fat fail on your next WOF check.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours
Tools Required: Spark plug socket, ratchet, torque wrench, socket extension, gap tool.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're replacing this spark plug, make sure you've got the right workshop prep, protection, and safety gear ready. Taking a bit of extra time and using the proper safety stands and cleaners makes all the difference for a professional result!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Always secure your vehicle on heavy-duty safety jack stands before working underneath. Never rely solely on a hydraulic jack.
• Clean Hands: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your skin from grease, oils, and chemical sprays.
• Preparation: Have microfibre towels and a suitable parts cleaner nearby to keep components clean during installation.
