Introduction
This guide will allow you to remove the set of three spark plugs in your Citroen C1 | 1.0 gasoline enginge, to clean or replace them.
Cleaning the spark plugs is recommended when a warm start is difficult, or braking appears unstable. A fouled spark plug can result in a weaker spark or even no spark at all.
The lifespan of a sparkplug varies between 30,000 to 60,000 km (18,640 to 37,280 miles), depending on the brand and use of the vehicle.
This guide is equally valuable for Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo vehicles, which use the same platform and the same 1.0 VTi gasoline engine, 68hp.
