W124 E220 COUPE
I cant seem to get a socket small enough to change the spark plugs on my w124 220ce 2.2 m111 engine (auto), can anybody help? has anybody done this? engine is running very lumpy and when stopped is reving up and down, almost stalling at times. I've checked for air leaks and found none, will a service sort this?

I've replaced the spark plugs on my M111 engined E220 using an ordinary plug socket from my socket set, which I've had for 20 years. No special tools required.

Anything in the tool kit? A good few of my cars (and bikes) have had special tools in the tool kit for plugs and other specialist applications. (My 911 comes with the tool to remove the headlights which is very useful but I wonder why they included it as it's not a common owner requirement to remove the headlights these days).

Hi is your engine running lumpy, not running on all its cylinders and lack of power and misfiring. fault normally caused by broken wires feeding coil packs, cut back insulation and inspect.

I think I've got three different sizes of spark plug spanner in 3/8 & 1/2 drive :rolleyes:

My 24 valve Senator had a tool roll in the boot which included a spark plug spanner ....... trouble is, Vauxhall didn't change the tools from the previous 12 valve & they were different :roll:
