Most new plugs, especially the multiple electrode type, come preset and can't be change that easily. Torquing is a must, especially in alloy heads .. I also smear a thin layer of copperslip on the threads to stop them sticking too easily. |

Not much point conforming to tight tolerances when these cars are half falling apart in the first place  |

| you should set the gaps ad torque the plugs up as well but alot of people just chuck plugs in. | |

Rocker off (black plastic locks - turn them so the line is horizontal) Coil pack out (Disconnect on the right hand side - 3x 8mm bolts on top need removing)  Take old sparks out using 10mm Spark Plug remover (Note: this is NOT a standard 10mm fitting), put new ones in with copper grease or engine oil on thread  Do it back up again. Finish! |

| Just changed the plugs on the 206CC at the weekend. Really easy, but I would recommend plugging the wiring connection on the right end and then you can take the coil pack unit right out. the old plugs were a but tight ... but they were old. Peugeot original parts! Although they were a nice colour (in terms on engine use). Don't know if these had been changed before but the cars on nearly 56000 now. Replaced them with Super 4's ... a bit of copperslip on the threads to help stop them sticking. Changed the airfilter as well. Started first time. I would have changed the oil but I forgot to buy a new sump plug washer!  |

| really simple mate, take the engine cover off unscrew the 3 bolts securing the coilpack down (black plastic thing in the centre of the block) pull the coilpack out carefully so you dont damage any connections unscrew the plugs with a suitable socket replace with new ones (bosch super 4's, NOT NGK) reverse the procedure simples |
