[@autodocuk]

⚠ Attention! This video contains a mistake: 6:02 - the tightening torque is 10 Nm, not 16 Nm. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

[@Tintoycar]

That's a lot of work for spark plugs man. If you like it doing yourself it's a great job, most people will pay the extra money because they hide the sparkplugs under the intake manifold.

[@rasmadrak]

Yes, I have always changed these myself...but considering the work required, I'm pretty sure I'll just pay someone to do it instead. :/

[@Tintoycar]

@@rasmadrak Or use Iridium spark plugs, can last forever.

[@rasmadrak]

@@Tintoycar first time changing on this car, so might check out iridium plugs then :)

[@Tintoycar]

@@rasmadrak I changed my Iridiums (NGK) at 200 000 km (125 000 mi), a mechanic said that they can do 2 times that. I have a Honda Civic.

🛠️The tools you need to replace spark plug: - drive socket No.10 - drive socket No.8 - сombination pliers - telescoping magnet - spark plug socket No.14 - high-temperature anti-seize lubricant - torque wrench - ratchet wrench

[@dellobravo2762]

Greetings!!! I couldn't help noticing that on the list of tools needed, there are #16 spark plug socket listed in the video and in the discription, listed is a # 14 spark plug socket. For clarifications, which one is it. Is it a #16 as listed in the video or a # 14 as listed in the discription??????

Hi. Can you upload a video on replacing Glow plugs on Nissan Qashqai 1.5dci 2008?

[@petert696]

Fantastic video,however if the video is aimed at the diy mechanic and also has focus on selling your parts etc, it would also be logical to include the critical re learn procedure. Thanks

[@phileagles951]

This is a good guide but what it fails to mention is that you need to run the throttle body relearn procedure or you will get an inconstant idle. This can be done by following the guides on the Internet or ideally through Nissan Consult III as this is much easier.

[@easyrider020]

this is correct about the relearn.didnt have it with other car brands.im taking my car to the nissan dealer

[@phileagles951]

I learnt the hard way. It is a doable DIY job but the hardest part is recalibrating the throttle body. It took me about 20 attempts before I successfully managed to do it!

[@CRN8091]

Phil Eagles , I am keen to attempt changing the plugs on the mrs Dualis.where do you find the throttle body relearn procedure online?.What a hassle to change spark plugs!!

[@phileagles951]

I used the official Nissan workshop manual I found here: en.zofti.com/2007-2010-nissan-qashqai-service-manual/download If you search the document for Idle Air Volume Learning without Consult-III it will show the procedure with a usual diagram. I recommend doing it with a stopwatch as the timing is crucial. Good luck.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your valuable comment! It is indeed an important procedure and is very useful for our viewers. Best Regards, Autodoc Team

[@williamhola]

Do you perhaps know what the sparkplug gap should be set at? Serviced mine with new plugs but it now has an uneven idle. Thanks!

[@errolmagill1611]

It's likely that he air intake system needs reset.

[@FASTU-mz3tm]

needs a throtle body relearn /reset. needs to be taken to a dealer to be done right

[@robbyboerties6902]

Where can I find that gasket that is removed and a new one placed?

[@autodocuk]

We recommend contacting our Customer Aupport service, where we will definitely try to answer your question.

[@craigstevens357]

I just want know about how to change the spark plugs on a 2007 nissan dualis

[@autodocuk]

In general, the replacement will be similar, the only thing is that it may differ slightly in the design features of your car. More detailed information can be found in the technical documentation for the repair of your car.

[@adilalhumady1672]

nice .. Did not mention measuring the tensile strength of the screws.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! We will consider it , when making our next videos. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@Dzacu4]

do you need new gasket as well?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! Since the manifold gasket is single-use, it should be definitely replaced in the car. Best regards, Autodoc!

[@piliboscholakyan1445]

What is the torque spec of the air intake manifold 16 or 76Nm? Thank you.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment! The intake manifold torque is 16 Nm. Best Regards, Autodoc team.

[@parvindermander5664]

What a palava to change the spark plugs

[@samimahealthcare7304]

Me vehicle mechanic spark plug problem how understanding.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! The spark plugs should be replaced strictly in conformity with the Service Manual to avoid their damage. But if they are out of order, the engine will start to operate irregularly, so to say , misfire, or it can stop to operate at all. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@johnstaring3210]

Ah yes, the intake manifold gasket ! The one the dealer will charge you for but not fit !!

[@eeyyaakk6801]

PLEASE HELP! After screwing in the new spark plug, the short spark plug wrench keeps getting stuck inside! If I pull out the long extension bar, the short socket wrench would not be pulled out along with it! The tools I used are: ratchet wrench, extension bar, spark plug wrench. They're all new!

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment! We highly recommend you use a professional car workshop to have a close look at this issue and provide a proper solution. Best Regards, Autodoc Team

[@petermaggs7013]

You need a "thin wall" 14mm deep socket

[@Tintoycar]

How did you fix it?

[@eeyyaakk6801]

@@Tintoycar are you asking me? the first time I forgot what technique i used. the second time i think i just pulled the extension bar to one side (left or right), before I pulled up. this way the spark plug socket will be pulled out along with the extension bar. love your casio watch collection.

[@Tintoycar]

@@eeyyaakk6801 Ok good job, my sparkplug tool has rubber in it that secures the spark plug, sometimes the rubber stayed on the spark plug when i took the wrench out, put the wrench back in it and slowly wiggle left and right and the rubber was back in the wrench. I glued the rubber in the wrench now, ;-) Thanx for the Casio remark. Greetings from Belgium.

[@ahmtpltr]

How many kilometers should we replace spark plugs in this lpg engine?

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your comment. Manufacturers recommend replacing spark plugs every 25-30 thousand rubles. km of run. Best regards, Autodoc team.

[@Tintoycar]

@@autodocuk I don't know if you can use IRIDIUM sparkplugs for LPG, but we have a Honda (not LPG) and the sparkplugs have 200 000 KM Still good.

[@andreas053]

can i have the number for the gasket or link ?

[@autodocuk]

We recommend you to contact our support team. Our specialists answer your question for sure!

[@markajoseph1980]

all that to change spark plugs

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! You are absolutely right - unfortunately, this video shows spark plugs under intake manifold and to replace them, one should do additional steps on manifold dismantling. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@elimejmo]

@@autodocuk To bad nissan start to use Renault engine instead of the usual nissan japanese engines

[@Tintoycar]

@@elimejmo I posted the same thing, should read comments first :-) I drive Honda's, low maintenence ;-)

[@LylivMax]

Totally agree so much work just to change spark plugs

[@psk5746]

Spark plugs are hidden now-a-days due to the coil on plug coils for safety. Usually with a removable cover ... in this way they saved making an extra part. Also you on need to replace them every 100,000 kms ... so not often

[@Si-Toecutter]

This is wrong it's a 14mm spark plug socket. Also don't buy parts from these guys they pretend they have it in stock but then send their own brand

[@autodocuk]

[@Sebastianvinxc]

Sparkplug socket size is 14mm

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! Your comment will be useful to many viewers.

[@josh3221ify]

Why did nissan make such a bad design, no wonder it lost many customers. Even in many premium cars its easy to change spark plugs.

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for the valuable clarification, for our viewers it will be very useful information.

[@BestUserNameUK]

It's a Renault engine.

[@ikzp1881]

Honestly I regret having the qashqai. I had nissan primera in the past and was really nice.

[@YuriLaf]

Spark plug socket needed 14 mm

[@autodocuk]

Thank you for your feedback! In this case we used spark plug socket № 16. Best regards, Autodoc.

[@coffeeaddikkt]

@@autodocuk your website supplies spars requiring the 14mm socket! Your comment is correct, the captions are not

[@FASTU-mz3tm]

all fine till i seen the spark plug been droped in the spark plug hole NOOOOPE, just do it with the magnet that way you dont damage ceramic or gap, its so easy to do things right. 👎👎👎✌✌✌

[@autodocuk]

Your remark is very useful to us, we will work on it.

[@akaski777]

So you have to strip half the engine down to change the plugs. Pathetic , that's Renault for you
