For a Ford Fiesta Zetec, it's generally recommended to change the spark plugs every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on driving conditions and the specific spark plug type used. It's best to consult the owner's manual for your model year for precise intervals. Regular maintenance checks can help ensure optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.
I have a starting promblem on my ford fiesta 1.4 diesel zetec on 55 plate is it likely to be the glow/core plugs, if so how do I change them, where are they situated?
Change the plugs at 100,000 miles or earlier if the engine is not performing as it should.
According to the owners manual, they have platinum plugs that should be changed at 100,000 miles.
If they are platinum plugs, should be every 95,000 to 100,000 miles.
The original plugs should be good for around 100,000 miles ( 160,000 ) kms. Take it from there.
Change the plugs and wires at 100,000 miles unless you experience poor performance or a drop in MPG. In that case change them sooner.
Generally I change platinum plugs at 100K and regular plugs at 50K.
To change the spark plugs in a Ford Fiesta, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the ignition coil or spark plug wires, then use a spark plug socket and ratchet to carefully unscrew the old spark plugs. Install the new spark plugs by hand to avoid cross-threading, then torque them to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reconnect the ignition components and the battery.
How i can change the engine oil for my my mercedes benz 240c 2003?
Depends on the type of spark plugs. Factory plugs around 70 - 100k depending on the condition of the plugs. I would replace the spark plugs out with some AC Delco iridium plugs they will last you 100k+.
Heater plugs in a ford focus 1.8 engine should be changed every 18 months-2 years.
They should not need changing until 90,000 miles.
