Dynamique 1.2 16V 05 Spark Plug / Air filter change.

[AlexanderS]

I had a look at changing my spark plugs today but I'm not getting off to a good start, none of the engines in the haynes bible I've got match up with what's staring me in the face.



Do I just need to disconnect the hose & undo the two screws on the front/right hand side or is there more to it?

Spotted a thread from a few years back saying the 03 needed a slim socket, is this the one/still needed?

Thanks.

Edit -
Just realised this is my first post >.>. Been reading for a while there's some good info/ lols contained in this forum.

You have a phase 3/facelift engine which are slightly different to the ph2. The airbox just unclips. Undo the hose by twisting it from the plate behind the passenger headlight. Then give the airbox a tug upwards/ to the right after disconnecting it from the throttle body if you get me.

Not sure on the socket though.

Think I follow, although I'm still stuck at getting the engine cover off.
I was just doing the plugs as a mate of a mate did the oil recently & said it looked like it hadn't seen a change. But to add to it just got back from a 40mile trip around the m25, in first it's almost stalling, second it's juddering until there's a bit of revs behind it & at idle it's jumping from 500 revs - 1000 revs with some serious shake.

Ignore "Think I follow, although I'm still stuck at getting the engine cover off."
Dug deeper into the guides section & I'm more than a bit special. Was expecting the filter box to be slightly bigger than the filter, not the massive block on the top of the engine.
