Replace Prius V Spark Plugs & Ignition Coils DIY with Tips, Tools, Torque Specs

Does your Prius V have a miss or do you want to do some preventative maintenance? The Spark Plugs are a wear item that you can change around 100k miles to prevent issues. While doing the plugs it is easy to put new coils back on as well.
In this video Gregg shows how he did the job on a 2012 Prius V. You can definitely do this job at home yourself with a few basic tools.

Thanks for this! I have a V and would love to learn how to maintain my car by myself

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for watching. Most jobs such as this are DIY so with a little patience and time you can save money. Good luck with your Prius V.

thanks Sir

[@GreggFesto]

Most welcome, thank you for watching and commenting.

How do you gauge how much pressure to tighten?

[@GreggFesto]

Thanks for watching. I use a torque wrench when I want to get accurate. If the torque is not that important I tighten to the point that I know it will not back off.

So are spark plugs and ignition coils different or the same thing?

[@GreggFesto]

Thank you for watching. The ignition coils and spark plugs are separate parts which work together. The coils are on top of the spark plugs and give them the power to spark.

How long does it take to to swap them out would you say

[@GreggFesto]

Thanks for watching. Takes about an hour and a half for me to do this job.

Great video thank you! How much did the spark plugs and coils cost?

[@GreggFesto]

Thanks for watching. I do not recall the cost of parts. I usually shop RockAuto and Amazon when I want the best prices.

[@lil_bear]

Did the coils fail or did you just replace them because why not?

[@GreggFesto]

Replaced as preventative maintenance.

@@GreggFesto cool how many miles are on it? can you do a EGR cleaning video or brake pads, or coolant flush, waterpump any of those

[@GreggFesto]

I believe the car has around 130k on it. If the EGR/Intake need to be cleaned then I will video it. I have done video on the water pump replacement. Search my channel for "Replacing Coolant Pump in 3rd Gen Toyota Prius" to check it out. Coolant flush is coming soon, check back periodically for that.
