hi guys sorry to be a pest and maybe ask silly questions but im wonderting on a time scale for a couple of jobs im thinking of taking on myself . im reasonably competent and have help ...

plug change -- am i right in saying tis a bitch to get into them is it a bumper etc off job ?? how long we talking

oil change -- same as above im raraing to get stuck in

thanks in advance for any help !!

 

Hi mate. What car have you got??

 

damn lol im such a fool sorry a 93 WRX ///

 

Ive got a uk turbo and it takes about half an hour for the plugs to be changed. If its the same set up as mine you will have to take the screenwash bottle out and also the airfilter box to gain access to the plugs. A little awkward. Not sure on the oil change as i get the lads to do it in work, but dont think its that bad. I use ngk pfr6b plugs in mine which ive been told are the best to go for.

Hope this helps and good luck

 

excellent mate thankyou very much im just dying to get my plugs etc done ...

 

Oil change is about an hour if you are working on your garage floor. If you have access to a hydrauluc ramp, half an hour should do it.

have a search in the archives, someone recommended a tool which was best for accessing the plugs.
