Want to change your own plugs?
I just posted a DIY pictorial for changing your plugs/coils on Renntech. If you are more of a picture person, this should work well for you - you will certainly have everything you need if you use the writeup by ebaker and the pictures you find here: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?/tutorials/article/213-spark-plug-change-instrauction-pictures/.

That's a SOP when overhauling a Porsche...maintenace procedures for these cars ( since 1970's ) were planned after ( or during ) a jolly evening @ Oktoberfest...

Hi guys - this is probably a good time to ask: I have heard that shops / dealerships do not remove the bumper cover to replace plugs. Apparently, with the car on a lift you can manage to get to all of them from below.
I have access to a lift and I was thinking of doing this job before too long. Can someone confirm / deny this?
Thanks,
Trevor

This is correct. Everybody goes to great extremes to change plugs and it is a lot of work. I did it on a lift in under one hour without removing anything. There is no need to remove bumpers and intercoolers, as I have also done in the past. With a lift, it's a quick, simple job. No need to remove anything. Huge difference!
