Anybody DIY spark plugs for their Panamera?

I always do diy on spark plugs for my cars. Couldn't find any DIY spark plugs replacements guides for PTT. I guess everybody go dealer or indy to have their spark plug replaced?

I just went to change mine on my 2010. My 4S has 50k miles and I don't think it had been done so I went for it.

Did the passenger side yesterday which was tight on the rear cylinder but pretty straight forward.

Driver side rear cylinder looks like a nightmare, not to mention there is an engine brace that blocks you from removing the passenger side engine cover. It also requires a very large security torx bit which I did not have in my tools to remove the engine brace. Anybody know the size of this bit?

If you are going to going to do it, I'd suggest replacing the valve cover gaskets while you have them off. Mine was leaking on the passenger side.

The valve covers do not get removed for a spark plug change...

No, but I tend to go looking once I start taking things apart, car was in for 30K service a few months earlier and it either had not started or they missed it. My car is a 2010 so I am just giving heads up to everyone that this could be an issue.
