dannywhiteley Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I went to change spark plugs in the Lupo last weekend and found that my 10mm spark plug socket will not easily fit down to get to the spark plugs.It will go down with force, but its too tight. It will just unscrew the plugs, but its really tight and as a result, will not come out again without loosening off the plug slightly and twisting the socket out.Any ideas, or confirmation of what socket I should be using...?
