Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This spark plug is designed for specific vehicle applications, including models from Citroën, Peugeot, Mitsubishi, Renault, Hyundai, and Kia. Always confirm the part number and OEM specifications against your vehicle's service manual before installation.

Setup (Installation):

  1. Ensure the engine is cool before starting.
  2. Carefully remove the old spark plug using an appropriate spark plug socket.
  3. Inspect the new Bosch spark plug for any damage.
  4. Thread the new spark plug in by hand to avoid cross-threading.
