Title: Spark plugs change
Post by: joyrob on September 05, 2012, 11:28:20 PM: Hi all

Have reached my 100k milestone. Mechanic advised need to change spark plugs. Quoted 200 for material and labour. Is it expensive for this ? I heard latio spark plugs not easily changed, as have to removed quite a lot of things.

Total may cost around $150 and the balance can still pump petrol....probably 3/4 tank.

Post by: IvanL on September 26, 2012, 10:54:09 PM: Yes bro. You need to reset your ecu about $50- 60 usually. I changed my spark plugs at kelvin bro's workshop about 2 months ago.

Will recommend you ask him for a quote.

Yep, ECU need to re-learn your driving habit again. No worry.

You may also faced a higher FC for this tank and next.

On NPMP, change of spark plugs is at which mileage interval, 10K?
Bought a 2nd hand latio, the servicing history didn't indicated any change of sparks plugs.
Car's cuurently up for 54k servicing & TC recommended i go for package B - change of sparkies with additional charges...

Any idea what sparkies to use for latio 4AT?
Spec?
Thanks :thumbsup:
