| Briskodian | Changing Spark Plugs (Felicia 1.3 GLi) This is going to seem a daft question how does one change the spark plugs on a Felicia 1.3 GLi Estate (MPI Engine)? To be more specific as I am not 'mechanically minded' there is instead of the usual individual HT leads leading to to each spark plug a metal 'bridge' across the spark plugs. Logically speaking I would have thought this would be easy to remove by simply pulling away from the plugs; however this seems easier said than done. The 'bridge' seems well and truly fixed to the tops of the plugs. Can a bit of pressure be exerted to remove this part from the plugs? Any solutions? Many thanks IFA W50 |

| Re: Changing Spark Plugs (Felicia 1.3 GLi) You have to unbolt it first, usually two 5mm allen key bolts. |

| Re: Changing Spark Plugs (Felicia 1.3 GLi) The metal 'bridge' is the ignition transformer commonly known as a coil pack as Lummox said, bolted on, the allen bolts are on the bottom face under the two domed lumps. |

| Briskodian | Re: Changing Spark Plugs (Felicia 1.3 GLi) Many Thanks Bobbob & Lummox, I had great fun trying to remove one of the bolts as the head of one of them was badly chewed up. After spending a good couple of hours trying to free it I decided it was time to call in a mechanic. Thankfully he managed to free the stubborn bolt and the plugs are now changed. Once again thanks for your help. IFA W50 |

| Re: Changing Spark Plugs (Felicia 1.3 GLi) A couple of tips for the next time you hit an issue like that:- 1) PlusGas dismantling lubricant - accept no substitutes. It might get a part-chewed head to move decently. 2) A Gatorgrip socket. Only use this for dismantling though! |
