Spark Plugs; Windscreen Wiper Blades - Alfa Romeo 166 Booklet

SPARK PLUGS

If the engine is running unevenly have
the spark plugs checked by Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services.
The spark plugs must be
changed at inter vals
given in the
grammed Maintenance Schedule.
Only use spark plugs of the spec-
ified type (see table of "Fuel
Supply and Ignition" in the
"Technical specifications" chap-
ter): if the thermal grade is inad-
equate, or the foreseen life is
not guaranteed inconveniences
may result.
IMPORTANT On 2.0 T.SPARK engine
removing the spark plug caps requires the
use of a special tool which avoids dam-
age: therefore for this operation you are
recommended to contact Authorized Alfa
Romeo Services.
