Looking to replace the spark plugs and the wires, but I'm not sure what to buy, I look online at autohausaz.com and they are only selling Karlyn-Sti wire set anybody have any experience with them, another website had Beru wires as far as spark plugs it seem bosch are the only ones offer.
Any suggestions welcomed.

Thanks E.

Uh, stick w/ Bosch. Beru and Karlyn are crap (imo). Beru and Karlyn, though they may have German-sounding names, are made in China.

did you do it yourself? or did you have someone do it for you? how hard was it for you to do? if you could give me some helpful hints, much appreciated as i'm planning on tackling it this weekend.

Have not done them yet. I'm waiting for my oil change to be due then I will probably bring her to my indy mechanic as I don't feel like messing with it. I'm still debating if I should change the wires or not.

To access the hard to get to plugs, I used a ratchet with a flexible head and various extensions.

For the plug wires, I used a spark plug pulling tool. These are available everywhere, and allow you to remove the wires without ruining them.



Notes:

• Removing the washer tank added a lot of room to the driver’s side.
• I left the plug wires connected to coils and did not disconnect the coils from the wiring harness.
• Any time I pick up a wrench, I wear gloves. It's easier on the hands. If you usually don't, give it a try. You may be surprised.
• I got my plugs from my local dealer - with the MBCA discount, 16 plugs were $120.

I hope that helps.
