What Does Spark Plugs Do?
Spark plugs are essential components in a vehicle’s engine, responsible for igniting the air-fuel mixture within the combustion chamber. They generate a small electrical spark that ignites the fuel-air mixture, causing combustion and powering the engine.
This ignition process is crucial for the engine's performance, efficiency, and overall operation. Spark plugs also help ensure smooth engine operation, better fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of spark plugs are important for maintaining optimal engine performance and avoiding potential starting issues or misfires.

How Often Do Spark Plugs Need To Be Replaced?
Spark plugs generally need to be replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, though this can vary based on your vehicle's make and model. Some high-performance or iridium spark plugs may last up to 100,000 miles.
Regular maintenance and checking your vehicle’s manual will help determine the specific interval for replacement. Keeping spark plugs in good condition ensures optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reduces emissions.
What Happens When Spark Plugs Are Replaced?
When spark plugs are replaced, several important things occur.
First, the old, worn-out spark plugs are removed and replaced with new ones. This helps restore the engine's ability to ignite the air-fuel mixture effectively, which improves combustion efficiency.
As a result, you may notice better engine performance, smoother idling, and improved fuel economy.
What Are The Common Signs Of Spark Plug Failure?
Common signs of spark plug failure include engine misfires, rough idling, and poor acceleration. You might also experience reduced fuel efficiency and difficulty starting the engine. If the engine runs unevenly or stutters during acceleration, it could be a sign of spark plug issues.
Additionally, increased emissions or a check engine light can indicate that spark plugs are not functioning properly.
Regularly checking and replacing spark plugs helps maintain optimal engine performance and efficiency.
What Happens If I Do Not Replace Worn Spark Plugs?
Over time, worn spark plugs can cause misfires, resulting in rough idling and sluggish acceleration. This can also decrease fuel efficiency, as the engine struggles to burn fuel efficiently.
Ignoring spark plug issues may eventually lead to more severe engine damage, such as a damaged catalytic converter, and increased emissions, potentially leaving you stranded.
Regular spark plug replacement is essential for maintaining smooth and reliable engine operation.
How Much Does Spark Plug Replacement Cost?
The cost of a spark plug replacement typically costs from £20 each upwards, depending on your vehicle's make, model, and the type of filter required.
Prices can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the replacement process and whether you choose an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or aftermarket part.
For a precise quote, it's best to contact your local Service My Vehicle centre with your vehicle's details.
