Willing to pay someone to change my spark plugs!! Queens area

RaZCaL · 10-13-2013, 12:39 PM

I read the DIY on changing the spark plugs but still do not feel confident enough. i have all the spark plugs but need someone with the tool. Willing to pay. Let me know if someone is interested.

If someone can recommend a good shop around Queens that can do it and won't overcharge on labor, I would also appreciate that. Thanks

pretty simple, what arent u sure about

napeHbNYC · 10-13-2013, 02:01 PM

Very easy stuff if you ever did any wrenching. Just make sure you plug everything back in properly and get a thin wall 14mm deep socket.

What torque should I use to change spark plugs on 335i 2009.
Also forgot to mention I bought BOSCH GERMANY ZGR6STE2 BMW E90 E92 SPARK PLUG 6-PCS EXACT-FIT and CTA BMW Spark Plug Socket (14mm) 2376

is torque 23 NM ? based on http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142679

I think I am ready for my first car fix.

Gugs · 10-23-2013, 10:46 AM

No tq. Hand tighten and quarter turn.
That goes for every car. If you dont know that you shouldnt be touching anything

Thanks everyone for the offers. A friend ended up helping me with it. While replacing the spark plugs, we discovered some oil in two of the spark plugs. Is this a possible valve gasket leak? Is this something to be concern about?

Yes, its most likely a valve cover gasket (common issue) and it maybe a concern depending upon how bad the oil leak is, are you getting misfires because the oil is fouling your plugs, how much oil are you losing between oil changes?
You may not need to change it now if the leak isnt bad... but eventually you will have to change that gasket.

I have a friend who can do your valve cover gasket (inexpensive), if your interested PM me i'll forward you his info and pricing.

The leak doesn't seem that bad, I have not experience any misfires, nor have I lost any oil between oil changes. I do not drive much per year. If it gets worse, I will definitely pm you for help. How much do they normally cost to replace?
