Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me how much to torque the spark plugs on my 2003 HCH I?

Are all 8 torqued the same amount?

Thanks to anyone who has a service manual!

Did you say 8?!?! As in 8 spark plugs? I'm pretty sure the hybrid has only 4 spark plugs and would anyone know the model # or any available store (besides the dealer) where we could get these?

Thanks!

GAP 1.0-1.1mm, TORQUE 18 N.m (1.8 kgf.m, or 13 lbf.ft) = snug but not too tight !
no specific torque order.

Just replaced the plugs on my 2004 HCH a few weeks ago. There are definitely 8 plugs in this engine. No need to go to a dealer I bought the plugs at the local Auto Parts store. They did not have them in stock but it only took them 2 days to get them. Also if you change them yourself don't forget to put antiseize compound on the threads
