replace your spark plugs

Porschegeorg, good job...but why did you replace them so soon?

You might add:

Put a little anti-seize on the new plug's threads to keep them from getting stuck.


Doesn't sound very complicated, maybe a couple hours worth of work? Might pull mine just to see what they look like - make sure it's not running poorly since I got that P1129 code a couple weeks ago. I also need to remove and clean the MAF soon, too.

Bill....I know I only have 4900mi on the car, but I couldnt stand the idea of having the same plugs in my car for more than 3 years. I get neurotic about stuff like that

How many times did you wash your hands when completed?

Did you use torque wrench? If so, did you adjust torque with the anti-seize compound? Thanks!

it shouldnt take 'coule hours', maybe like an hour or so.

If you jack up one side of the car at a time you don't need to remove the wheel well cover.
