3.2 GSI V6 - Spark Plugs

[paulcooper4]

Hello lads, I want to change the spark plugs on my car. I dont think they have ever been done, its a 53 plate, but when I changed the air filter and oil filter they were filthy. Ive never seen anything like the oil filter.

So I doubt very much anybody has changed the spark plugs on it if theyve never even bothered to do an oil change.

Problem is, i`m **** with cars, and to my dismay you can not just remove the leads and stick new spark plugs in like every other car ive ever owned.

I got quoted £190 to get them changed by a vauxhall dealer, so when I picked myself up off the floor I thought ******** to this, i`ll do it myself.

Does anyone have an idiots guide to changing spark plugs (step by step) on a 3.2 gsi v6?

Haynes manual stlyee pictures would be extremely helpful too.

I know im asking a lot lads but if you dont ask you dont get.

Cheers.......

On the second one jump a few pages there are a good set of pics there....to make it short you`ll have to take off the hole aluminum block on top (read Mark`s GSI3.2 replys) to reach down where the sparks plugs are.
