How to Replace the Spark Plugs on a Chery Tiggo 3?
2 Answers
The method for replacing the spark plugs on a Chery Tiggo 3 is as follows: 1. Clean the area around the cylinder wires on the upper part of the engine; 2. Use a wrench to loosen the spark plugs inside the engine; 3. Remove the old spark plugs and replace them with new ones. The function of the spark plugs is to discharge the high-voltage pulses sent by the high-voltage wires, breaking down the air between the two electrodes of the spark plugs to generate an electric spark, thereby igniting the mixed gas in the cylinder. The Chery Tiggo 3 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4420mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2510mm. The Chery Tiggo 3 is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 85 kW and a maximum torque of 143 Nm.
I've changed spark plugs several times before, and it's not too difficult on a Chery Tiggo 3. First, you need to prepare the tools: a spark plug socket, wrench, and new spark plugs. Remember to turn off the engine and remove the key for safety. The Tiggo 3's engine is under the hood, and you can see the spark plug locations after removing the cover. Before removing the old spark plugs, it's best to mark each position to avoid confusion. Clean the connection ports to prevent dust or debris from entering. When installing the new spark plugs, pay attention to the torque—usually 20-25 N·m. Too tight and you risk damaging the threads; too loose and it may cause air or oil leaks. I recommend checking them every 30,000 km. If they wear out too quickly, it could indicate an ignition system issue, such as oil contamination or wiring problems. If you're not confident, it's better to seek help from a repair shop rather than risk damaging the car. DIY can save some money, but take it step by step and don't rush.
