Is it a easy job fitting new spark plugs ?? ford galaxy 2.0i 1997 aspen on a R plate Thankyou Sue Quote
Masked Marauder Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 If I remember correctly from my younger days, regardless of make or model of car, all plugs should be gapped to the thickness of the cardboard from a cigarette packet. The correct way to close the gap is to tap the electrode on anything hard, usually the nearest kerb-stone. :D :( :D Quote
sparky Paul Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Yeah, I remember that... :D Plug gap for the 2.0/2.3 is 1.0mm, though I suspect the plugs come pre-gapped - they certainly do for the 2.3. Looks pretty straightforward on the 2.0 litre. Bosch FR5DP1X for the 2.0, according to Mr Haynes. :( Quote

Guest red Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 All done was'nt a bad job except for number 1 plug as there was a pipe in the way so the pipe had to be pulled off then went ok with getting no1 out and new plug in 4,3,2 was easy took 1/2 hour to do 4,3,2 and 20 mins to do no 1 local garage quote to fit plugs Quote
