I was waiting for you to yell out "Rev up your engines" at the intro, thought I'd clicked on the wrong video.

[@davesterl]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatt??? Don't put me in the same category as him, lol

Unfortunately many Diy and even some KZbin mechanics are as thick as two short planks.. As an electrical/mechanical tradesman I find it a real pleasure to watch a true professional at work.

[@johnfittis5764]

Never lubed a sparkplug in my life never had an issue. Never thought about the coil packs failing due to excessive plug gap but it makes perfect sense. I always learn something from ur stuff Dave many thanks👍

[@davesterl]

cheers John. i try to cram as much info as i can into the videos. This isn't really a 'how to' on changing spark plugs in a corsa at all

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Always nice to refresh on the basics & nice informative video. Cheers Dave 👍

[@davesterl]

Yean Peter, some 'forget' the basics

[@v4vauxhall498]

Nice one Dave, same applies to brake pads as you say , if you check most manufacturers they state no anti-seize, hate it when you see copper grease slobbered over brake pads. my pet hate is this stuff.

[@davesterl]

same here

[@md560]

Well said Dave, + grease on plug threads turn to a carbon mess, grease slapped on everything is an old wives tale some things yes bush bolts etc.

[@davesterl]

Absolutely

[@leonardtaggart]

Another interesting video Davy 👍.

[@williamwicklow5192]

Well done Dave the cars that I’ve had I have never put anti sneeze on the plugs great video.👍👏

[@David22890]

A wealth of knowledge. Enjoyed that. Thanks for posting it.

[@davesterl]

My pleasure!

[@colinboyd4371]

Very informative as ever , thanks Dave.👍

[@Lambros_Stefaneas]

nice video. always but always, use torque tool to torque the plug. if you overtorque, the plug won't have the life it sould have.i torque by hand (many years ago),spark plugs due to service, and after 2 months they failed. we took them out and sent them to a center(for warranty), they measure the thickness of the washer,and they say it was torque to 10kgm(not NM!!!),and of course, no warranty 😪😪😪 Lesson learned.......

[@victoruri]

Hi, thanks for the great video. One quick question: Did you disconnected the Battery before changing the spark plugs? Thanks!

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Excellent and very informative video. Thanks for sharing your info and knowledge. Stay safe and well Artie 👍

[@davesterl]

Thanks, you too!

[@the_retired_mechanic]

If I find the old plugs are tight with carbon on the way out I use a plug chaser to clean the threads before installing new plugs. The ohv ford engine like those in the early fiesta and ka would easy snap off. Even I learned out to remove the broken remains. Maybe you should make a video of removing a broken plug dave?

[@davesterl]

Aye, i haven't had a plug snap in manys a year altho i dont do a lot of old scrappers these days

[@125sm3]

Great video Dave, some funny moments.

[@davesterl]

Thanks 👍

[@APPLEtv4VIERACAST]

Dave, quick question… do you reduce the torque spec if you put the anti seize grease? (In my case like for example on glow plugs) on a Jetta mk4 the spec is 11nm, if I put anti seize, do I still torque to 11 or should I reduce?

[@davesterl]

Definately reduces the torque spec

[@markconway4089]

Hey mate where is your shop located ?

[@berkburak]

Informative as usual, thanks Dave! 👍 What about the glowplugs? No antiseeze on those threads neither ,right?

[@davesterl]

same situation with glow plugs

[@stephenglasgow762]

Hi, My manual says 25 Nm but the bosch box says 28Nm, which torque should I go with? Mines a zafira b, same plugs, Thanks

[@19astrasport]

Hi Dave. Another great video. Question.Would you use anti seize on a heater plug on a diesel??

[@davesterl]

if you apply the same reasons not to use on spark plugs. don't want to over torque

[@Conservator.]

Any kind of grease or oil on spark plugs will probably carbonise because of the heat and might have the opposite effect. Just my thoughts.

[@davesterl]

Yes Conservator, agree on that

[@stephenglasgow762]

How many miles on those standard bosch plugs? Thx

[@kevinpalmer7452]

That copper grease should be banned from all workshops I detest the stuff only thing I use on threads is a few drops of oil from the oil can or thread locker if needed.

[@davesterl]

Yeah Kevin, ok for steel on steel bolt shanks but that's about it
