Changing spark plugs

In answer to your question, is there an easy way to reach the spark plugs, well it's, NO. Suggest try from the top in the engine compt, jack up the vehicle, remove the front wheels, try through wheel arch. Then get the rest from underneath. Allow about 2.2 man hours. Good luck.

Same experience with me. Took about 3 hours and
access is through the right wheel well and from underneath. Shortly after I got it done I blew the head gasket and had to replace them again.
