Every so often it's good to dare to compare!
So compare spark plug changes on a V6 Sprinter with gasoline engine and the Dodge Promaster Ram V6 engine.
If you like leaning into the engine compartment slot of an aperture & releasing the air intake the plenum, you with the"right" plug socket to remove the plugs and lift the coils. It's for you!
Now since the plenum is held down with what you could call 8mm head threaded self tapping screws, (all seven of them) plus some 6 mm nuts you can slide the plenum to one side for plug removal The big issue is that some of those hold down "screws ' sit in pockets that are formed in the plenum body .
Filling with salt & water ingress, the heads corrode off, and you can't remove the plenum. Well not without butchery skills that is!
Oh and in the meantime you want to change the air filter just for good measure.
The real deal is $97,85 all day.
So to repeat to those that gripe about MB Sprinters !
A thousand Ram Van spark plug changes be upon you !
