2005 Seat Cordoba spark plug

172Servicing and replacing
Spark plugs
The spark plugs are renewed during the SEAT Inspection Service.
If the spark plugs have to be renewed between the Inspection
Services, the following should be noted:
• The spark plugs and ignition system have been matched to the
engine and as such contribute to reducing the levels of exhaust
pollutants. To avoid faulty operation, engine damage and even the
withdrawal of permission to circulate due to excessive emissions
values or non-suppressed spark plugs, only use the Genuine spark
plugs for the respective engine in question. It is particularlyimportant to examine the number of electrodes, the heat value and
if necessary, the anti-parasitic.
• For technical reasons, plugs may be modified at short notice. K
