Xantia V6 24v spark plugs
Just aquired a lovely V6.. later model(1998).. and as is my habit i am replacing the spark plugs but i don't know where to start as looking under the bonnet everything is covered up,i am capable of doing this so long as i can find the plugs.... any help will be appreciated.

ok, you need to unbolt the inlet manigold and possibly the top engine mount, i will take a look at my spair one but i know its such a hard job people do cut corners and only replace 3 (not recomended obviously).

Look at this link,http://www.citdoks.de/anleitung.php?cr_id=118 it is giving a good describe but is in german language. I did it myself on my 1998 v6/24v XM (same engine ES9J4). It was about 1,5 hour work, lots of different screws etc. grab some little boxes or so and take notices of everything, be carefull with aplly the right torque (aluminium heads). The inlet manifold gasket was broken on two places so maybe its a good idea to get a new one before you start. Succes

I did the plugs a few months ago. Get a manifold gasket from the dealer (£1.60). The inlet manifild can be removed in one piece with the throttle body (with a bit of manouvering). Be careful to find all the bolts and nuts hidden at the back of the manifold.
Be careful with any plastic clips and cable guides. These are brittle and can spoil your day. Likewise be careful with the LT connector on the coil block, as it is easy to break the socket assembly off the end of the coil.
When reassembling, watch that the cables for the connectors on the throttle body are sitting in the right place and not trapped underneath.

Look also on this Japanese link http://www.geocities.co.jp/MotorCity/6947/plug.html ,I don't understand the language either but it has some nice pictures of the V6 engine.
