One of my first car repair endeavors was changing spark plugs on a subaru. I felt like a master mechanic afterwards.
You sir are a f...n hero.. No bullshit, no 30 min video with 20 min talking about things no one gives a shit about.. Just straight to the point, simple step by step video that is easy to follow.. I wish everyone did tutorials like this.. Thank you, good man!
You should, if you have time, make a video exactly like this one for everything you do to maintain your Bugeye. The pacing, style, illustration, and content is perfect. I've had mine since new, and it's been 6 years since I've replaced the plugs, and the Bugeye WRX has gone from the Internet's hottest forum topic to almost an old beater niche info market where you can't readily find out the things you barely remember talking about 10 years ago.
Corner that market. This vid is incredibly helpful and easy to watch. Bravo.
Thanks so much. Glad you found the video helpful. I'm trying to make more videos, but, time and finding things to fix are an issue. Haha
Mine is currently sitting at a service station with a brittle, busted vacuum nipple on the intake hose and "rubber" PCV and vacuum lines that snap like candy-canes. After 12 years I can say that these cars are no spring chickens anymore, and finding things to fix on these wonderful cars is not gonna be hard in the future.
I'm still on the original aging turbo, starter, and alternator. Good lookin' out, bro.
D Weasel I was gonna say - finding things to fix on my '05 is not a problem at all lol it's like very week it throws something new at me... -__-
HEY MAN THAT'S GREAT THAT ITS AN ISSUE FINDING THINGS TO FIX means you're taking great care of the car! sorry caps lock was on.
this is hands down the best car repair youtube video for spark plugs ive ever seen
8 yrs later and this is the best video ive seen of someone doing this so far. Showing exactly what tools to use, parts to remove and when, and then showing it getting put back together.
Most videos are like "remove the airbox" does show how to safetly remove any of it, just skips to it being done.
One of the best and most instructional videos out there
Glad to help.
Man, you are the man! Hands down the best informative videos I've seen in a long time!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 👍
I'm not one to comment on videos, but this is one of the best "how to" car videos I've watched. Easy to understand, concise, good camea work. Great job.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍
feeling inspired. going to need a lot of beer for this one.
I tell ya, money has been way too tight over the last couple years, and your video's have helped me do quite a few things myself! Mad props to taking the time and effort to let us see what everything is and where they are located, plus a reassembly step instead of "now just do everything backwards" *End Video*
So thank you for such great work, my bugeye appreciates it!
+Kerry Burnell you're welcome. Awesome, glad to hear that I was a help!
Awesome. Now I'm going to replace my coils and plugs. Cause i too bought a used 03 wrx. And trying to make it healthy as well. Good thing no leaks yet.
This video is very well done! This guy is the GOAT of Subaru repair videos!
Old video but watching you do this with one hand the whole time was absolutely amazing
Thanks a lot. Great video for a person like me with basic mechanical skills. You saved me a bunch of money. Now I'm ready to replace spark plugs on my 2002 WRX that I bought brand new on 06/06/2001.
+David Rodriguez glad to help!
Almost a decade after you posted this I’m using it to change my spark plugs this week lmao, you’re a legend
I've been watching this video for about a week now and I think im ready to have a go at my plugs. Great video tho
+Darryl Rose good on ya! Get your confidence up and grab a ratchet!
Great video. I wasn’t working very fast, still done cleaned up
I'm very impressed with this video! It's detailed step by step and you did a majority of the work with one hand!! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!
You're such an underrated UA-cam, thanks to you I've done most of the work on my wrx
+Carlos Gonzalez awesome. Glad to help.
Great video of how to change Plugs on a boxster engine. Always wondered how this is accomplished. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Great camera work and excellent explanations.
+Steve Evans thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Bro just did this this morning. You saved me couple hundred dollars! Thanks!
Best video I have seen. Quick, clear and to the point. Gonna do this on my already 214K miles WRX Wagon :) Thank you!!
Awesome, glad to help!
Freshly subscribed. Your videos are so good! I always found these motors so intimidating to work on just because they're different. I'm ready to dive in.
Good video, no hype or bullshit, good quick pace.
Thanks for posting.
Cheers Paul
Thankyou so much for the reply and the video you saved me like 500$ taking it to the shop!
Thanks for the video. Followed it to successfully replace my plugs on the WRX.
Awesome. Glad to help!
Subbed just for this video alone. This is how to do a how to video! Perfect mate appreciate it 💪🏼🥰
Great video looks so simple
I’m changing mine on my bug eye
Great video thanks
Good video! I need to change my plugs and was a little freaked out by trying it without prior knowledge of what needs to come out. Thanks
You're welcome 👍🏻
A few things to move out of the way... You just need a childs hand to get between the frame ;-) Took me a few hours the first time I did this on the bugeye, then my friends bugeye it took us less then an hour. You just need to have the right combination of extensions, then remove ratchet as you back out so you don't get stuck on the frame ;-) I am sure the dealers or any mechanic with a hoist will just use a lift, remove motor mounts and tilt the motor with a milk crate to have full access without hitting the frame. Just did plugs on wife's new forester Lol, 45 degree angle SOHC, was a breeze compared to the bugeye, but its doable. Just take your time, great video!
Thank you! Made my spark plug change a piece of cake
+agent0010 awesome. Glad to help 👍
Very well done presentation. Was my main inspiration for changing spark plugs by myself. Which I've done recently with great success! Thanks a lot mate!!!
Glad to help!
+zcamaross09 Why did you only change 2 spark plugs instead of the 4-6 plugs it has?
I changed all 4.
straight to the point and step by step. very nice.
Thanks 👍
Very helpful video, thanks for taking the time to make this!
No problem. Glad to help.
Good job. Very instructive and great instructional technique.
+Jon S glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for including the socket sizes and plug gap specs 💙
You're welcome. 👍🏻
Great video! Ive been trying to hype myself up to doing my change today. This makes it seem a lot easier. Thanks!
+Mr_BrettHooge glad to help. Hope it went smoothly.
Thanks for the Video buddy I just replace my spark plugs on my Bugeye and you right it is peace of cake, next I need to know how to replace fuel injectors.
+Marcin Szukielojc glad that you found the video helpful. 👍
Awesome vid! quick and to the point! Thanks for making.
Thanks. Glad you found it helpful.
zcamaross09 14 dlls per spark plug? Is there any other kind or brand that is not that expensive ?
Fantastic video man, thanks for making. Cheers!
+Jon Pfenghanssl glad to help!
Thanks you just saved me money
I'm bout to do this on my bug eye, thanks for the vid walk trough😁
No problem. Glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for showing things very clearly. Very helpful :)
+TurtleLungfishGirl glad to help
+TurtleLungfishGirl glad to help
Thank You so much MrSubaru
Good video! I started to do mine on my 04 WRX the other week but had to stop because of lack of room to remove the drivers side rear coil pack bolts. I will be buying ratcheting wrenches to do those bolts since my socket would just get stuck with the lack of room
really nice video. just what i needed to see. And great job one handed I might add!!!!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🏻
Outstanding! this is another task I need to do haha....Love your snap on tools....
+Deepblu dude thanks. Glad to be of help with my videos.

Nicely detailed video, thank you.

Really helpful video, a few skinned knuckles later.. my plugs are done! thanks.
+MarkusParkus100 glad to hear that you got it handled. :)
You are the best !!!
The best video ever!
+INTERNA9 glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video! Will be changing plugs this weekend! Dealer made it seem like it was only a task they could perform...lol
+NewShockerGuy funny how dealerships do that. Lol
Great video!
That was a lot of work to get to those spark plugs.
I think I should stop complaining about changing the spark plugs on my V6 Honda
Great videos. Saved me time and again
Awesome. You're welcome. 👍
Wow this video really helped me. Thanks alot sir.
No problem, glad to help.

This video was very helpful
+Lino Bait glad to help
We're nice clean ad informative video,
Thank you for the step by step how to do it.
+Daniel Vazquez glad to help!

+Happymanasfk Lol hope. No way. Super easy to get at Subaru plugs without major components moved.
Very helpful, thank you.
+Jack Martin glad to help.
nice.. i just bought a 2005 wrx. and i was afraid this was going to be much harder!! pretty easy!!
Nice video! Im sure it's been said and you are aware, but that drivers side valve cover has a pretty good leak. Time to replace that gasket!
awesome video! going to tackle this no sweat :)
Glad you found the video helpful. It's a pretty simple and straightforward procedure.
Awesome vid
Thank you. 👍🏻
COSTCO Battery good choice as they are fast used supplies. Good Job
You make it look easy!...its not , first time ,took me 2 hours! LOL ,second time one hour 20 mins
perfect. Thank you
Glad to help.
Firstly great videos love watching them helped me greatly with some jobs on my car secondly ive recently changed front o2 sensor on 2.0l wrx sti type uk version and since then ive had hesitation while driving (drives fine under boost) checked all pipe work for leaks all fine except intake pipe was perished a little so replaced with silicone pipe could the plugs need changing and would a bad plug cause hesitation on start up it sounds like it pops as if misfiring but clears up a 5-10 seconds later sorry for long post and thanks in advance for any info
I’ve had my ‘03 WRX since new, never made any mods to it other than a hitch for a bike rack. It has 115,000 miles on it and I’ve never changed the plugs. I suspect it’s near time I did it. :)
Nice video... Just pain in the ass to replace Spark plugs for subie
great video man. quick question though: when you started it up, was that sort of knocking sound piston slap? my STi sounds pretty much like that and it bugs me
Thank you very much. Clean those battery terminals! They sold me Autolite app3923 plugs. Should I exchange for NGK PFR6G 4793? I've got 135K on the original set and it's running fine.
nothing like fresh plugs!
2021 still a great fucking video thank you
Thankyou!!!!
Glad to help!
Gr8 video, wish me luck doing this as a girl about to tackle it, lol
+Daniel&Trish Dalton good luck!
The coil packs are color coded so you can remove all at once, White wire goes to front.
I just wish I had read your reply before today.
If I already applied the antizeez is it too late to wipe threads spray with eclectic contact cleaner and reinstall? My engine isn’t performing correctly. That might be why.
one more question if you would, my 2005 wrx 2.0 had ngk platinum laser plugs, however I purchased and installed new ngk Iridium XI, car runs great and everything but, is this fine? or should I have went with the platinum laser like it had.. thanks
With the 2.5 turbo with variable valve timing that you find in the 2006 - 2008 Impreza and Forester, it is necessary to undo the engine mounts and jack up the engine to clear the frame to change the plugs and coils. One side at a time.
No.
I'm Fucken doing this thanks for the inspiration.
Welcome. Glad to help.
Do you need to use torque setting? oh buy the way, i followed you step by step on my WRX 2003 club spec 6... great vid and it helped me out heaps - Australia :)
+Sir Robert James Jackson the engineers put in the time to calculate the specs. If something has a torque spec, I tighten it to that spec.
Hola qué bujía recomienda para el 2.0 160cv atmósferico?
Hy,0,30 milimeters for the gap on the spark plugs?thx?
The plugs in the description, better than NGK iridium IX? (2005 wrx)
Time for my bugeye 02 wrx to get it's tune up. Thanks!
No problem, glad to help.
zcamaross09 What size extention did you use with your rachet? I watched a diferent video and the guys said that a 7 1/4 " overall length(ratchet,sprk plug socket and extention) is needed.The reason I asked this is because there's no much room between the block and the chasis.I'm doing mine today and I wanto to have everything I need ready.
Extension is a 3" Snap-on FXK3 using a Snap-on S9716KR spark plug socket.
zcamaross09 Thank you. I'm new at this..I just got a 2002 Subaru impreza and I like doing simple stuff by myself...Now, I just did the oil change and I have no idea way the dipstick shows empty when I poured 1 gallon of syntetic oil story goes like this...After I finished the oil change I checked the dipstick and it showed full . left it on the street while I did another oil chamge on my second car. I went back to the Subaru to check if once you start the car some or the oil goes to the new filter. and that's when I realized the fucking dipstick is dry. This is the second time this had happen. any ideas why it shows there's no oil? Thank you for taking time to answer my questions
***** It takes 5 quarts.
would old/bad plugs trigger 302 and 304 misfire codes?
Thank you, your videos are some of the best on UA-cam.
+SDBARTENDER1 it's a possibility.
MrSubaru1387 that's where I'm going to start at least.
thanks for the rapid response!
+SDBARTENDER1 anytime.
@MrSubaru1387 Relearn state?? Never heard of this. This makes me question... I have minor mods and a tune, if the battery is disconnected for too long will it mess with the tune?
Great video! Is this the same for the Blobeye?
itsLeeLockwood yes. Identical.
thanks a lot = i have a 2001 forester gt turbo and need to do this i am a new owner and no service records ? really nice car but will do it all myself now!
+Ronnie Boucher (the crystal craftsman) glad to help
Can you do one on the fa20wrx
Nice instructional. Curious as to why you explicitly say no anti-seize though.
It inhibits the ground between the spark plug threads and the cylinder head. They're aluminum cylinder heads, different than if it had iron heads. It isn't used at the factory, isn't needed here.
You going to need to replace those valve cover gaskets as well. They are leaking pretty good
Yes, they are. Well aware of the mess they are causing. I've only had the car for about 2 months. Will replace them and make a DIY video on it soon.
Helllp Mr. Subaru my 02 wrx engine light is on/flashing has a misfire I changed the plugs but its running worse
hi mate... need to change my rocker cover gasket LH driver side.. now you removed the airbox etc to access the coil packs would this be the same procedure for the rocker cover to come off? not much space at all.. do you have a video?
+tro8p correct. Pretty much same procedure. Just remove both coils and the bolts for the rocker cover and you're there.
Last time I checked under my Forester XT, it seemed like there's enough space to do this from down under and not having to disassemble the airbox, reservoir and battery. What's your take on this?
Idk
MrSubaru: why did you say to NOT USE ANTI-SEIZE lubricant in your video? I'm about to do the plugs in my 2009 WRX for the first time. thanks for the helpful video. I should be able to recognize the coil packs easier now.
+Phillip McLean anti-seize is not needed. It hinders the spark plugs ability to ground itself through the cylinder head. NGK spark plugs have a special seizure resistance coating on their threads as well so it's 100% not needed.
Nice! Good to know. I'm definitely using OEM plugs by NGK. Read that they're so specced out to this car's needs that it is foolish to try and get something "better", and your reply furthers that sentiment.
