Can someone please tell me in details on how to change spark plugs on a mercedes 1998 C280?

Please be clear. I am still struggling and confused about this. Taking it to a mechanic and Benz dealer will be lots of money. Mechanic wanted $225 just for labor charge, and dealer is even more. Any help will be appreciated. Exactly where are the spark plugs located? How do i open them? Will I need some special tools? etc... Thank you!Can someone please tell me in details on how to change spark plugs on a mercedes 1998 C280?Remove spark plug suppressor, remove spark plug, reinstall suppressor. Repeat for other 11 spark plugs ( there are 2 plugs per cylinder ). The front ones are not too bad to change but the rear ones are pretty tight and you'll need a swivelling socket extension to reach them.Can someone please tell me in details on how to change spark plugs on a mercedes 1998 C280?take the spark plugs out and put the new ones in...Can someone please tell me in details on how to change spark plugs on a mercedes 1998 C280?The fact that you can't even see them tells you that it's not as easy as some people think it is,,,,,,,,,,they're located in deep holes in the cylinder head. Book time to replace the spark plugs on a 112 engine is 3.3 hours. You have to remove and replace the ignition coils (all 12 of them) and it takes a special tool to remove the wires without causing any damage (the wires are $40. each).Can someone please tell me in details on how to change spark plugs on a mercedes 1998 C280?Sorry to say. If you cant find them, have the mechanic do it. Don't go to the dealer find a smaller place that wont charge as much. You could follow the plug wires but you do need a ratchet, extender, and time. If you cross thread the plugs you will hate it and ruin the engine. Also when you change the plugs you should do the distributor and wires for plugs.

Where are you located? If in Houston TX I have a great mechanic that is cheep.

I need to change spark plugs in a 2000 ford ranger xlt?

I have a 2000 ford ranger xlt truck; the check engine light is on and the computer shows that #1 and #3 are misfiring; I need to change the plugs/wires, but there is not a diagram in the book, nor can i see one on the manifold/engine area.I need to change spark plugs in a 2000 ford ranger xlt?Don't change your spark plugs yet. Many other problems are much more likely unless your plugs are due to be replaced according to your Ford maintenance schedule. Many platinum tipped long life plugs are good for 80000 miles or more. You are probably in the early stages of %26quot;throwing parts at the problem%26quot;. It pays to do a little diagnosis first, especially with an engine misfire error code. However, I agree that the first order of business is to make sure your basic %26quot;tune up%26quot; and maintenance items on the truck have been maintained according to Ford's maintenance schedule. Note that you can easily damage the spark plug wires when trying to remove them from the spark plugs if your not careful, which can actually create an ignition spark problem rather than solve one.I need to change spark plugs in a 2000 ford ranger xlt?Just replace one at a time.

No diagram needed.I need to change spark plugs in a 2000 ford ranger xlt?like the guy above me, one @ a time, gap them correctly.... then reset the pcm to clear the codesI need to change spark plugs in a 2000 ford ranger xlt?What do you mean by the book.

How do you change spark plugs and spark plug wires?

Thank YouHow do you change spark plugs and spark plug wires?autolite is a good/cheap SP. step by step http://www.ehow.com/video_110_replace-spHow do you change spark plugs and spark plug wires?one by one with a spark plug socket. good plugs are bosch. Make sure you test the gap on your plugs though.How do you change spark plugs and spark plug wires?I don't know of any website, but you can try autozone.com. They have some how-to stuff on there so that may help. I have always had good results with champion plugs. Everyone has their own preference. You will need to know the year, make and model of your vehicle (ex. 2003 Ford Escape) and the engine size (ex. 6 cylinder, 2.4 liter). You will need a %26quot;gap guage%26quot;. The clerk at the parts store can tel you what the gap should be and show you how to use it. Start of gapping all the plugs, then remove one plug wire and only one. After remove the old plug and install the new one then put the new wire on. Repeat this process for each of the cylinders making sure to remove only one wire at a time so that you don't take a chance of mixing up 2 wires and hooking the up wrong. This would cause the cylinders to fire improperly because they are timed to fire in a certain order and mixing up the wires will mess up that order and your car won't run correctly. There may be little plastic %26quot;holders%26quot; along the wires in places. If there are, make sure the new wires go into those to keep them off the hot parts of the engine. Good luckHow do you change spark plugs and spark plug wires?take one out at a time and then just replace them...make sure you gap them
