How To Change Spark Plugs Volkswagen VW up! CHYA CHYB MPI

A very quick-and-nasty video showing how easy it is to change the spark plugs on a VW up!. The process took under 10 minutes from start to finish while filming. A super easy job!
Parts used:
NGK ZKER6A-10EG Spark Plugs

[@standupray]

Just ordered 4 spark plugs, clearly i am not a mechanic 🤣 Thnx for this video!

[@MickyG1152]

A good Vid best ive seen for this job.

[@aramscholten6541]

Own the same car, got it back from a service today. Was shocked by the costs of it. Next time I’ll do it myself, thanks to this vid. Btw, they billed me for 4 plugs. So I will visit them 1 last time and get a little money back. 😏

Excelente demostración de trabajo, 👏👏👏👏👏 Ayuda a animarse,con herramientas adecuadas ,y no tener que ser víctima de mecánicos inexcrupulosos.🇦🇷🙏

[@tony33herreras21]

Exacto, uno mismo es más cuidadoso que muchos apretatornillos que rompen todo lo que tocan y en vez de arreglar , estropean , no digo que alguno sea cuidadoso y honesto, pero hay muchos que no van sino a ver si pueden sacar tajada, eso lo haces tú mismo con menos dinero que el que te cobran ellos y que conste que no hablo por la mayoría sino por algunos chapuzas.

idk why but i just did spark plugs replacement on my engine, 1.6 MPI. its just satisfying to watch idk why...

[@shaztec1021]

Thanks for video

[@Thb202]

That looks easy af! doing mine next week

[@YZJB]

Such an easy job on these cars! Have fun and thanks for watching

[@Thb202]

Just finished doing them. Mines the turbo model so it was a bit more difficult, boost pipe had to come off to get to the first spark plug. Thanks for the video man

[@YZJB]

No worries. I’m glad it went well for you! Thank you for watching

[@omaralejandrorodriguezflor6743]

Calibration?

[@Thb202]

Omar Alejandro Rodriguez Flores You mean the spark plug gap? The Bosch ones I bought come precalibrated, no need to adjust the gap

[@narayananbaskaran6655]

Nice video. Can i know are the set of tools required to replace spark ? Ihave same model in Skoda

[@robinhuijbregts6011]

Am i correct that you put in the plugs, tighten them loosley. then the video cuts. and you tighten them strongly. Or are you doing something else?

[@m4c1990]

Does anyone know if you can use the sparkplugs from the Up TSI/GTI? Because these have the iridium sparkplugs but something is 1mm shorter than for the MPI engines.

[@johnbrayshaw613]

HI What is the sparkplug gap measurement ? ( 2017 Vw up 1ltr petrol) Can`t seem to find it noted anywhere. Cheers

[@freddiellagunojr6510]

What size engine is that

[@garcia9352]

What diameter of long plug wrench do I need to change the spark plugs to the skoda citigo?

[@robertb.3651]

16mm

[@nikhillengade9532]

Greetings from India! I have a VW Polo which has the same CHYB engine. I assume it runs on the same plugs mentioned here. That said I have been wanting to try some iridium ones. Could you please recommend/suggest the iridium replacement for NGK ZKER6A-10EG?

[@YZJB]

I do not recommend replacing the plugs with Iridium ones. VW use the specified plugs for good reason

[@nikhillengade9532]

@@YZJB Thanks! :)

[@leandrosalvi7704]

Did you tested with Iridium spark plugs ?

[@gerthummelen6830]

How do you know how hard to turn the spark plugs?

[@YZJB]

On the box it says to turn them 1/2-2/3 of a turn after they are seated. You can also feel the washer crushing

[@MKasap-te8vm]

You can better use a torq wrench.

[@jobelzinga]

Why is this going so easy, i have a really hard time removing the Coils, cant get them out, Any tips ?

[@YZJB]

The coils can get stuck on the spark plugs. You just have to pull harder until they pop off

[@1951split]

@@YZJB I did just that but i ended up with a coil in my hand and the rubber still in the head... "Just pull harder" doesn't always work.

[@AndrewTSq]

@@1951split was it broken or could you just put them back together again? My coils sit like glued aswell.. did not want to push it more if it breaks.

[@1951split]

@@AndrewTSq No..They weren't broken. You can put them back together again. It takes a lot of effort/force. They won't give up easily but they will budge after a while...

[@MrMickekarlsson]

@@1951split How did you solve that, I'm in the same situation

[@connorwebb5661]

Whats the spark plug socket size?

[@YZJB]

16mm 😊

[@AG-vk9gq]

You should always check the gap before fitting.!!!

[@wwethemes2341]

do 1.0 tsi spark plugs work on a 1.0 mpi ?

[@YZJB]

No they are a different plug

[@wwethemes2341]

@@YZJB and what are the spark plugs gap size please?

[@mittyahmed7362]

What are better bosch or ngk

[@YZJB]

Both are good. I prefer NGK

[@bogdanstamate4827]

@@YZJB bosch got iridium core/are better compared to NGK, check producer website for exact bosch code that is compatible

[@garcia9352]

14mm o 16mm

[@m1rchegfn]

Hello. On what milleage is it recommended to change the spark plugs on 1.0 MPI? I have 54000kms and don't know if I should change them.

[@michagrzegorczyk5342]

If engine runs okay there is no need. You will probably need to replace them at around 70-80k km

[@m1rchegfn]

@@michagrzegorczyk5342 replaced them. Car works smoother now. Was worth it and they costed about 20€ for the three of them.

[@michagrzegorczyk5342]

In my case, they died at 80k km. Need to replace them :D

[@m1rchegfn]

@@michagrzegorczyk5342 anything else you changed throughout the ownership? How many kms do you have now? I also changed front shock absorbers on 54k km which is way soon from my opinion. On Skoda Fabia 2016.
