Technical Spark Plugs/Air Filter

[MikeSporting]

Apologies if this comes across as a little simple. I have a Mk2b Sporting and have no idea where the spark plugs or air filter is? I just want to replace both over the weekend, any help guys?

Thanks

The air filter is in that big oval shaped box on top of the engine. There's about 8 screws that have to be removed to get to the filter.

The spark plugs are below the air filter housing, towards the top/back of the engine (4 plugs in total)

I'm assuming you have a 1.2

Sporting = 16v?

If so I believe the spark plugs are direct above up cylinders ontop in the cam cover

The air filter is just to the right iirc
But not having a 16v I cant think of it

One day eurocarparts will get their prices right. They're selling them cheaper on eBay.

The leads are the plug leads. These perhaps.
