new spark-plug
 
Hi guys,i'd just replaced the spark-plugs on my 08 3.0si at 68,500 miles. Pretty easy to do, and boys does it run smooth now,that n52' purr like a kitten. Just want to share thanks.

Were your old ones THAT bad? Perhaps the placebo effect has taken you...

...? You said it runs smooth now, implying that it didn't before. Am I missing something?

So your original post, about how the vehicle runs "smooth now" and that it "purr[s] like a kitten" was just simply based of nothing?

Is the a DIY out there for this? I want to see what I am getting myself into.

If I'm reading this thread right what your after is peace of mind.
That being the case just have a nice glass of wine and you'll get
the same euphoria with a lot less work, less money, and less
time spent.....:D
