156 spark plug change
Hi,
Is it an easy job changing the plugs on a 156 (2002, 2.0TS)? I ask as I cant see them and if it likely to be hassle I will fire it off to the garage. Cheers, Rick |

Just don't take off more than one plug lead at a time, or you'll never work out how it all goes back together. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 2.0 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

Eh? <thinks> If you need to ask, you'd better take it to a responsible adult and ask them to do it for you. -- Steve H 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 2.0 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI - COSOC KOTL BoTAFOT #87 - BoTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |

Chortle, I am capable of changing a spark plug, a quick look under the bonnet in the ****ing down rain and it wasn't obvious where they are. I have been driving diesels for years, have things moved on from the plug lead? A few years ago I would happily spend half of my Sunday hunched over the bonnet, but no more. Rick |

(why??) And don't worry when you see them wired up as pack-plug-pack-plug-plug-pack-plug-pack ... they do go like that even though it means the packs are on the larger plugs in cyl 1 & 2 and on the smaller ones in cyl 3 & 4. |
