Plug leads set up E430

Can someone check under the bonnet and confirm that the top spark plug lead on each coil pack goes to the front plug on each cylinder.

Mine has a very slight misfire at idle.

Changed plugs today and all leads just popped of as they were not snapped onto the plugs so would just like to check whoever changed the plugs last time did refit the leads correctly.

Thanks

front,bottom back.Use the dog legged end of your 17mm boot removal tool to pop the metal boots back onto the plugs.You will feel the slight pop when you push gently.

most coils are marked A and B for 1 and 2 each cylinder.

Thanks for that

I did use a 17mm spanner and some of them were bloody tight to get back on.

That's "damn tight" for native English speakers
