How to replace spark plugs on a 2013 Fiat 500. If this video helped you and feel like donating anything I really appreciate it! Here's my cash app. $balatbatbrian87
Nice short and sweet video, although a shot of the spark plug removal might have been nice. A couple of pointers would be: Have some compressed air or a vacuum handy to deal with particulate matter. The plastic sheathing on my spark plug wires disintegrated instantly so I had to clean the area several times to keep stuff from falling in the holes. Also have some long needle nose pliers handy. I found that if placed the sparkplug too loosely in the rubber part of the socket it would fall out before I could set it properly. Then I had to worry about cross threading. If I put it in firmly the extension bar pulled out of the socket before the socket would release from the sparkplug, hence the need for needle nose to pull off the socket. Also, buy the best spark plugs possible. You don't want to do this more than once. It seems like sort of a bad design but at least they are easy to get to.
I can't thank you enough for this video...saved me huge money. I had tried previously and didn't find the back bolt on the engine cover and quit before I broke anything. 🙏💯🙏💯
Did not show the actual removal of the spark plugs. Does it screw into the long piece he took out or down the shaft he took the long tube out of? Did to-much stuff ahead of time.
That does seem like an easy job on this particular model. Spark plug is located near the top while on some motorcycles or my BMW, it’s located way down
Ron Alan Spark plug goes inside where I took the ignition coil off. Pretty self explanatory but I guess I should have made that clear on the video. Thanks for watching!
@@xXCerebralVortexXx twist it in there using a spark plug socket and and extension with just by hand and once you feel it treading in properly use a ratchet to tighten it. Just don’t over tighten it.
No, you need a spark plug socket. They're pretty much universal in size, but if you want to be sure, when you buy the new spark plugs, you can put it into the spark plug socket to make sure it's the right fit before buying it. The big thing being that spark plug sockets will handle porcelain better and have a magnet attached to pull the spark plug out. The socket should already be attached to an extension, but if not, get one of those too.
This video was about spark plug replacement but you showed how to remove The engine cover, and remove bolts, etc…yet NOT how to replace the spark plugs…you just talked through that part instead of demonstrating how to do it.
I wanted to show the difficult part of the process, removing the spark plug is just like any other spark plug removal, insert the spark plug socket in hole, turn it counter clock wise using your ratchet and it will come out. Installing new spark plugs is reverse order.
@@BrianBalatbat I understand but seeing the entire process is more user friendly for first timers. You can’t say it’s just like any other removal. What if you’re the first video I saw on how to replace them, and I didn’t get the entire process…now I am leaving your video to go to someone else’s. Which would take the like and potential subscription away from your page and to someone else. Just something to think about. Not trying to sound harsh. The video should fulfill what the title says so a viewer doesn’t look elsewhere
@@bdotnicole I understand, this was from three years ago and I had no intentions of growing my channel then, just wanted to upload videos to help others. But I see your point, I should have removed the spark plugs lol, thanks for watching and good luck!
They screw in. There’s a tool called a spark plug socket that attaches to an extension on a socket wrench. Hard to explain in text, but if you Google it you’ll see pictures.
Jeffrey Chavey what model number plug did you use? Also, is your fiat 2012 or 2013 or later? I know the later models use iridium plugs as oem, trying to figure out if it would work on older models
Wish that I could reply with model number -- threw the packaging away. Mine is a 2012 and so far so good with the plugs. One thing is the gap: the plugs were set to .040 but I have heard that .026 is recommended .. I'd check with the garage but these seem just fine so far.

Michael Vaughn glad it helped!
Gotta love the horizontal four-cylinder easy to access the cylinders
Just love the Fiat 500
Thanks man! Was able to knock this out in literally 20 minutes!

Spark plugs sit screwed onto the bottom, they arent in the ignition coil
@@theoriginalshew this is meaningless to people who are trying to learn. Your video is garbage.

What size spark plug socket did you use?
cuantos kg de precion pusistes en las bujias? someone knows whats the amount of lbs of pressure on the spark plugs?
Wheres the spark plug go? Would have been nice to actually see what the video was titled to do

@@BrianBalatbat do you just stick it in there, and it locks in or do you twist it in? Or.. also thank you for posting this video

So do you just pull the Spark plug right out?

Always undo the positive for your wrench could be or act as a ground.

@@BrianBalatbat 😂 I understand. 🙏🏾
@bdotnicole I agree. I've never changed a spark plug and needed to see the entire process. Headed to a different video.
So, do thy just pop out or is there another tool you skipped over to remove and install them?

Did you use NGK DCPR7E-N-10 for the new spark plugs?
Irshaad Hashim don’t remember exactly what kind but I think it was denso or ngk.
I used NGK Brand Iridium plugs and the engine runs great now

@@irshaadhashim8847 iridium is best plug to use. It is also usually a 100k mile spark plug
Is this a 500l or 500 hood looked like an l?
What's the gap
Size of the socket for the spark plug? Thanks
Gio I believe it was 5/8”
Hey whats the firing order of the spark plugs?
Hakasauars cylinder order 1234
Firing order 1342
