Description

Spark Plugs: Your Engine's Little Firestarters — Featuring NGK
> Spark plugs are the heart of your petrol engine's ignition, creating that crucial spark that gets the air-fuel party started. Over time, those hardworking electrodes wear down, and carbon likes to build up, leading to annoying misfires, a thirstier engine, and just generally sluggish performance — especially if you're clocking up the kilometres on New Zealand's roads.
Is Your WOF Coming Up? What the Engine's Telling You:
• Engine feels a bit rough, maybe misfiring, or idling like it's got a wobble.
• Having a bit of a battle to get the engine to kick over.
• Suddenly, you're filling up at the pump more often than usual.
• That pep in its step is gone; accelerating feels like pushing a wet noodle.
• Oh no, the Check Engine Light has decided to make an appearance!
WOF Worries?
While a worn spark plug won won't get you an instant WOF fail, it's a slippery slope. They can lead to misfires and emissions that are definitely not up to snuff, which *will* see you heading back for a re-check. Keep those spark plugs tip-top for both a happy engine and a smooth WOF pass.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 4/10 (for most common vehicles) — totally doable for a keen DIYer!
Estimated Time: 30 minutes - 2 hours (depending on how tricky it is to get to them)
Tools Required: Spark plug socket set, ratchet, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool (if not pre-gapped), dielectric grease.
