2006 Chevrolet Aveo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace spark plugs in an engine on 2006 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: Replacement of spark plugs requires engine-cooling time to stop the engine from seizing and to protect Cylinder Head threads. Cleaning the Spark Plug recess will prevent foreign objects to enter the Cylinder Head because such contamination hinders appropriate Spark Plug installation. Specified spark plugs alone must be used for the vehicle because alternative plugs with different heat levels can lead to serious engine damage. To start remove the engine cover by turning off the ignition then loosen the 4 bolts before removing the component. Move on by removing both Spark Plug Wires and spark plugs from the engine. Before installing the spark plugs check the gap according to specifications while verifying the standard gap on both new and reconditioned plugs with a round wire feeler gauge because manufacturers may alter pre-set gaps. Fasten the spark plugs into position after ensuring that each thread properly penetrates the Cylinder Head and reaches full depth; a thread chaser may help in this process. Tighten spark plugs according to the recommended specification at 25 n.m (18 lb ft) torque to prevent overheating and exhaust blow-by as well as thread damages. After the installation concludes attach the Spark Plug Wires before you reinstall the engine cover while securing the 4 bolts at 3 n.m (31 lb in).
