Installing all spark plugs
NOTE:
The description is provided only at one component. The procedure is the same for all other components.
- Insert spark plug (1) in the special tool 0 496 065 (12 1 230)
. NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Do not drop the spark plug into the spark plug shaft. This can lead to a reduction of the electrode gap and can thus impair smooth running of the engine, especially in idle position. - Screw the spark plugs into the engine hand-tight with the special tool 0 496 065 (12 1 230)
.NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Only a swiveling extension for the reversible ratchet may be used. Rigid mounting tool and variable plug connections with rigid option may not be used; there is a risk that the insulator breaks. - Tighten the spark plugs with the torque wrench, the special tool 0 495 560 (12 1 220) and with a pivotable extension.
