Hi fellow Latio owners
Has anyone change their spark plug before. Understand that Latio's spark plug is special
and cost about $24 or more each, but can last longer. And it is not easy to change it as there
is an cover over the engine.
Thanks
:confused1:

hi westresting, i've not yet changed the spark plug but understand it's can last for 80 to 100k km. btw, understand that royroy still have spare spark plug to sale. Maybe u can PM him for details, also understand from him, the service charge to get this change is abt $15.

hihi,
nowadays workshop labour increases, but normally for sparkplug change, labour wun be too high. estimate $15 - $20 most.
If really want cheap one, i know 1 workshop that do only $10.
Hocks motor at eunos indurtrial.. Name: Ben. Jus 2 units beside Huat lee shop.
Those who drive getz last time should know him. V v v reasonable price.
if anyone happen to go there, just tell him roy friend. Last time driving a black Getz. He should know ah. if he still remember. ha

hihi.
Yup. i still have 1 spare one for sale.
btw, i dun think our plug can last 80-100km.. thats way too long .. even iridium wun last tat long. I heard from a bro here saying our is using platimnum one. Should last 40k km. But is always better to change eariler as spark is essential to our car overall performance. layman term. car need fuel,air and spark to perform normally. when 1 is not working well.. car will lost of power.. FC getting worst.. etc. :)

Mine at 52k km now and believed still on stock spark plug as just bought this car 4 mths back...
-
Mine at 49k Km but three years and 4mths old, still on stock plugs. Mechanics advised to change to cold plugs at 50k km. What are cold plugs?? :confused1:
-
hi
Stock plug can last 100kM.
It seems that so far no one have change the stock plugs. My colleagues just changed his.
Tan Chong quotes him $125 before GST with his own plug (which he bought for approx $25.)
He went to JB Nissan AD and got it done at Rm $84.00.
According to him need to remove manifold and some stuff, and needs to re-tune with computer.
just to share..
:smile:
cheers

Our Spark Plug is FXE20HE11 from Denso. It had a .55 centre electrode and a Pt Needle ground electrode. Long reach so it's not your standard iridium plugs.

Dun know spark plug can last so long....my mazda 3 change spark plug when i send it for 10,000km servicing....dun know if it is the same for latio....

Mine at 49k Km but three years and 4mths old, still on stock plugs. Mechanics advised to change to cold plugs at 50k km. What are cold plugs?? :confused1:
Hot plugs have more thermal insulation and conduct heat away from the tip at a lower rate. This allows the plug to run hotter for a given engine load and this burns off carbon deposits. This is good for the fuel economy minded folks who hardly go beyond 10~15% engine load.
For the performance oriented crowd, it is a disaster. At high engine loads, the plug tip may overheat. Performance tuners will generally recommend "cold" plugs that conduct heat away from the spark gap more rapidly than "hot" plugs.
-
i see, thanks for the reply. So our Latio's plugs are hot or cold?
Thanks again

Hi westresting, at RM$84? Using Denso FXE20HE11? Or just a labour cost alone? Thanks to advise.
-
Hi LatioR
He paid R$84 just for labour only.
cheers
-
Thanks for the info. RM$84 just for the labour sound very expensive lei..Thanks.

He's getting bad not so honest imho.... really disappointed with him that he tried to cheat me :mad: even though I trust him that much.
-
I don't think anyone will change the spark plugs of the Latio for $10.00, if I'm not mistaken, there is a need to remove the whole intake manifold.
-
hi all
now my latio is 35000km already.
chg of spark plug will increase FC or the driving pleasure?
regards.
-
Have a look at my spark plugs at 50k
Time to change liao

just ask the quote from autosaver for spark plug change and been quote $168 + $30 = $198 for just spark plug change. Not sure if there is other workshop is able to offer better quote? btw, not in hurry to change as mine only at 50k+ km.

i was quoted wit the same price too...$198 autosaver from ubi
-
That's very expensive. Can our Latio use other kinds of plugs?
Say the normal ones that can last about 30k km?
-
For comparison, was quoted by TC (tink in Apr 08) at $164 ($41 x 4) + $80 labour, not inclusive of 7% GST.
Not sure why some of u wan to change the original spark plugs if it can last till 100K, unless u all hv more $$ to spend, ::) Btw, is it cover under our warranty till 100K for the original spark plugs? Anybody check b4 with TC?
mine was changed during my 100k servicing, and FOC/included in NPMP (u can calculate ur xtra costs here).

u referring to Ben?
-
Yes :glare: :mad:

thanks. ya have the same feeling also. not like last time. :(

U oso use him? He actually used my car n kena fined and never bother to tell me, until the summon came. Called him at the same time to find out about car problem since not fully resolved, then asked him also about the summon then tell me he will settle.
From then, I didnt believe him,just paid the summon myself. And looking back, then realised that the so called replacement of part of $50 that day was to pay for the summon not for "fixing" the problem. Therefore till recently still have problem and decided to go to other workshop, although they couldnt find the fault as ECU was never lit. Eventually discovered that he didnt change the air filter which was so bad that I suspect that it will have an effect on the idling. :mad:

Morning,
At least we know Autosaver really go by the book.
-
Auto Saver and Riverview are good alternatives to Tan Chong with at least 30% savings! :thumbsup:
-
Fyi, Latio Spark plugs require the longer version. :smile:
-
Gee.. I am going for my 100K servicing coming weekend at Autosavers. This threat remind me of a potential cost (in additional to the 100K servicing package).
My FC has lots of room for improvement (+-11Km/litre) I wonder whether it is the sparks plug that need to be renewed..
-
do share with us how is yr FC after the change and help to check there is other alternative spark plugs than the stock one. Thanks.
-
hi all
donno when tcm will replace the spark plug for us?
-
hi bro, u r under NPMP now and TCM shd change for u at 100k km then.

ooo, i thk my npmp may not tahan until 100k km. may need to sign for next npmp.
regards.

Yap, will update on the FC after i changed.
Called TC Ubi on the prices of the plugs. It cost $42.00/plug with about $40 of labout charge (to be confirmed)
That will be $208.00. The guy sating it will take about 45-60min. Hmm.. prices not far from Autosavers'

hi ben21
if with npmp pkg, i thk this sparkplug all pao liao. hassle free.
-
Ah, installed at Autosavers since i was servicing my ride there last Friday. Monitoring FC with another 2 tanks before reporting changes here
Hi bro iagree, you seems pretty pro-TCM? :smile: Maybe it is me. But the TCM package doesnt cover everything wor. Didnt opt for that as mine is a 3 year old CVT Latio Sports with 80K milleague. Did some calculations and find it cheaper with non-TCM workshops IF one doesnt take care of their ride. Thanks anyway :)

hi bro, do you happen to know how much is it if I just change spark plugs at autosavers? I am under TCM NPMP, but I think they will not change it for me foc as my NPMP will not cover till 100km. So considering changing spark plugs outside, then go back TCM finish my NPMP contract.

hi ben

ooo, not really pro-tcm...
mine is oct2007 latio. jan2009 now my mileage is close to 38000km liao. 1 year car clock this mileage? geng or not?
so, i prefer to let tcm pao everything4me, ask them to chk this n that. i feel more comfortable to service by tcm (after i tried autosaver & outside workshop in msia).
tcm - geng! go for it. npmp - worthwhile.

guys, question, if our car is abit bo lat, can it be bcoz of the sparkplug? if we chg to a better one? more power?
Ying, ooo, ya hor, can request to take back the part ya.... last wk i forgot to ask tcm to give me back the Wiper Blade (i chg DIY the silicon, which can last for 2yrs.... i used for few wks oni b4 i went tcm to service my 40000km with npmp), sayang lah.
guys, MUST remember to ask TCM Or AS or any Workshop that u service ur car out there to TAKE BACK THE old PARTS...

Our Spark Plug is FXE20HE11 from Denso. It had a .55 centre electrode and a Pt Needle ground electrode. Long reach so it's not your standard iridium plugs.
I just did my 100,000km servicing at TCM BT. Changed the spark plugs and it cost $39.50/pc b4 GST. As I took the Package B, therefore no additional charge on labour...
They also change the both rear brake lamp electrical socket which was under a "silent' recall campaign....
Total service cost me $419.34

Hi Bro ben21, what's yr FC now after the change? Sb finished up 2 tanks by now right? Thanks to share.
-
Yo guys, sorry for the late reply. Had a long long holiday in Malaysia (drove to Penang, Ipoh, etc)
To answer some questions:
1. Autosaver's price for the plugs (Model: FXE20HE11) is at $42.00 each. Labour charge is $60.00. Total damge: $228.00 (b4 GST)
2. I did not keep the old plugs. But a gimplse of it is that the threads (whatever you call it) looks worn and they confirmed that mine is really due for replacement (my second-hand car is at 98K milleage)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
bro iagree, woah. at that milleage clocked, i see why the TCM package is for you :)
bro latioR, yap. more than 2 tanks liao. I detect no significant change to my FC in my last 2 locally-travelled tank. So now only comfort myself that I did it for safety's sake? :unsure:
THis may not be related. But... i clocked 600km on a full tank of Esso 5000 petrol on the NS highway. (my personal best) That together with another half tank of Malaysian V Power is enough to take me to Penang :yehyeh:

Bro, u shd hv sign up the NPMP package straight away, prob can save u more, when u include another 2 Package A, 1 C and 1 D, + mayb some worn brake pads, belts, etc. :)
Yea, rem my rear brake lamp thing was also changed during my last service on my aircond, SA mentioned was a worldwide recall oso..
