anyone know anything about vauxhall 16v engines?
nickW:
don't you just have to remove the sparkplug cover, its on top the engine normally held down with allen bolts
ian_s:
i'm going round his place tomorrow with a toolkit,
gonna take a shufty, and then its on the a local garage who can put in on the diagnostic machine.
Jas278:
Plastic cover on the top easily removed , pull the plug leads off theres the plugs, have a look domn the holes first , the cam cover can leak oil in causing the plug to break down , but yes I would certainly try a set of plugs first, now cars have long range spark plugs fitted people tend not to change them as often.
mark.yellow.series.3:
the plugs come out the middle of the head from under the coil pack, youll need a spark plug socket on a long extention.
and my mates was playing up and it was the coil pack, and there very expensive new. :?
KingWolf:
If I were you I'd do a bit of a google search for fault code reading. You'll be able to do your own diagnostics on your drive and it won't cost you a penny. I used to do ths all the time with my old Cavalier Turbo. That car spent most of it's life in bits...lol
It anything electrical has failed this will tell you exactly what's wrong
