How often should the spark plugs of Hyundai Verna be replaced?
2 Answers
Hyundai Verna's spark plugs should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. To determine if replacement is necessary, they should be removed for inspection, checking the color and the gap between the electrodes. If removal is inconvenient, you can also observe whether the car has difficulty starting when cold, if the idle is rough, or if there is a noticeable decline in engine performance. If these symptoms occur, it is likely that the spark plugs have reached the end of their service life. The Hyundai Verna is a compact car launched by Beijing Hyundai, with dimensions of 4300mm in length, 1705mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2570mm. It is equipped with a 1.4L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power output of 70kW, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a Hyundai Verna for almost 5 years. Generally, spark plugs should be replaced every 30,000 to 40,000 kilometers, depending on individual driving habits. For example, in congested urban traffic with heavy wear, replacement might be needed as early as 30,000 kilometers. On the other hand, smooth highway driving can extend the interval to 40,000 kilometers. I once tried delaying the replacement, which resulted in difficult engine starts and a 10% surge in fuel consumption. Fortunately, timely action prevented major repairs. Now, I regularly check the condition of the spark plugs. If there's any shaking or unusual noise during ignition, I replace them immediately. For daily maintenance, it's best to follow both the vehicle manual and the actual driving conditions. Each replacement costs a few hundred yuan, but it's crucial for the overall lifespan and safety of the vehicle, especially ensuring reliable lighting during night driving.
