Spark Plugs

[beauar]

hi all,

my 2003 996 C2 has 40,000 miles on it now. i was thinking it might be time to change the spark plugs. I am not sure how long they last and know it is a pain to change yourself. How much would a private shop charge to change the spark plugs.....curious? I think the car has the original plugs. How many miles shoudl these be changed?'

Thanks,

Beau from Chicago

Porsche says "911 Carrera (996) as of MY01 (1) every 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or at least every 4 years"

you can really do it yourself. I just did mine a couple weeks ago. A little time consuming, but it was worth it. #1 and #4 was a pain, but you can do it. You can get the DIY right off this board.

I know I could probably do it if I had the right tools here....which I don't. Any ballpark on what a shop would charge?
