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 Smile

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! Sad

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!

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

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

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.
