I am thinking about replacing the spark plugs on my 2006 C4S and was wondering if it can be done without dropping the engine? I have read the replacement of spark plugs for a Turbo engine as discussed on this forum, and was wondering if the job is in any ways easier on the C4S, due to the absence of Turbo and intercoolers in the rear part of the car.

Anyone dare to share an opinion and or experience?

Thanks

nobody drops engine to replace spark plugs. but they are awkward to reach.
try to look it up there:
http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...1-carrera-diy/

or in 996 DIY forum. should be possible to find something useful about it.

 

Got spark plugs then got under there to try. Aborted and sent it to my local indy guy. Really tight spaces. Did full exhaust and intake work myself but this was a bit over my head. Not impossible, though.

 

Some are hard to reach. Its doable if you have the patience.

 

I did five of the six. Need to loosen
the cats to get the six.

Just curious how soon this should be done in the real world?
