Address also the Section of the Spark plug.

Spark plugs, depending on type, are replaced each 96 000 km or 160 000 km.

 Attention! Replace spark plugs only on cold or slightly warm engine. If candles are turned out on the hot engine, the carving of the head of cylinders made of light metal can be damaged.


 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Before work prepare all necessary tools. Some producers of spark plugs deliver special tools for measurement of a candle gap.

It will be necessary for work for you:

· Candle key of 16 mm, for example, HAZET 900AKF. HUNDRED DAIMLER-BENZ apply for this purpose a candle key 3122B.
· It is in addition recommended to get special pincers, for example, of HAZET 1849 which facilitate an otvorachivaniye of candles. DAIMLER-BENZ applies for this purpose an assembly key 3277A.
· Depending on number of cylinders of the engine necessary quantity of spark plugs. The applied spark plugs are listed in Specifications. 2 spark plugs are applied to each cylinder.
2. The best way of replacement of spark plugs is preliminary purchase of new candles, adjustment of their gap and replacement of each candle in turn. Upon purchase of candles it is very important to choose those candles which are intended for the engine of your car. Information on them is provided in Specifications.
3. Having near at hand new candles, let's the engine cool down completely before removal of old. During this time it is possible to examine new candles on existence in them of defects and to check candle gaps.
4. The candle gap is checked by insertion of the measuring instrument of the necessary thickness between electrodes on the end of a candle. The gap has to correspond specified in Specifications. The delay has to concern each of electrodes only. If the gap does not meet standard, slightly turn in a curved part of an electrode by means of the regulator with notches before achievement of necessary size of a gap.

At adjustment of a gap of a new candle turn in only the weight electrode basis, without touching its end. If the electrode of weight is displaced rather central electrode, by means of the regulator with notches level them. Check the porcelain insulator for existence of the cracks indicating that, the candle should be replaced.


5. Switch off ignition.
6. Remove plastic the casing closing the candles coupled coils of ignition and high-voltage wires.
7. Replace candles. For prevention of damage of a carving during a wraparound of a candle use the rubber tube (internal diameter of 5/16 inch) which is put on its isolation center. In attempt of a wraparound of a candle not on a carving the rubber tube will begin to be turned on the insulator, without allowing to damage a carving.


Check

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Compare the taken-out candle with shown in pictures in the Head Elektrooborudovaniye of the engine, it will give you useful information about the general condition of the engine.
2. Check the probe interelectrode distance. The required value of a gap is given in Specifications.

At new candles the interelectrode distance is, as a rule, established correctly.
If the carving of a candle has damage, it needs to be replaced. For this purpose there is the corresponding tool and a repair kit, in particular BERU. By means of a special drill the old carving opening can be passed. The head of cylinders for this purpose does not need to be removed. After that in a head of cylinders the new carving can be cut and by means of a special carving insert the candle is screwed. Carving inserts sit reliably and hermetically.

3. For installation of distance between contacts turn in the corresponding mass electrode. For this purpose knock sideways on a mass electrode. At a podgibaniye you oboprit the small screw-driver about edge of a carving. Do not lean at all on the central electrode as it can be damaged.
4. Apply a little cupriferous anti-taking structure on a carving of a new candle. Establish a candle in a head of cylinders and screw it fingers against the stop, then tighten by means of a head of a candle key. If it is possible, use a dynamometer key for tightening of a candle to be sure that it is established correctly. The effort of tightening of candles is included in Specifications.

In order to avoid a possibility of a vvinchivaniye of a candle not on a carving put on a small piece of a rubber hose or a plastic tube its shaft. The flexible tube will work as universal - the cardan hinge, providing alignment of a candle in relation to a candle nest and in case the candle begins to warp, the hose will slip on it, without giving the chance to strip a thread.

5. Before connection to a candle of a high-voltage (VV) wire carefully examine it on damages, corrosion of internal contact and measure resistance. If it considerably exceeds 30 kOhm/meter – replace all set of wires.
6. Connect a wire to the established new candle, again using rotary motion and holding the socket until it is put on a candle up to the end.
7. Repeat the procedure described above for other spark plugs consistently to avoid the wrong connection of candle VV of wires.
