Dear All,
After researching (watching youtube clips etc) on how to change the 6 plugs on V6 my W212 09 I decided this was a relatively simple job. However after removing the coil packs (just two T25s bolts) I didn't see a simple job ahead as the plug connectors and the actual plug are lower down and slightly angled to those I observed on youtube etc.
So it looks like a need a tool or device to firstly prise off the spark plug connector from the plug. I didn't want to pull at the connector and risk ripping/splitting the connector from the coil pack. I contacted Mercedes service to ask what they use, there answer was "yes we do use a tool" "But we don't get many in so we haven't used the tool for a long time"
So my question is a) Is there a tool for this job as I can't believe people just pull at the connector lead to remove it from the plug. Especially for the plugs at the back of the engine.
Regards,
