Vectra V6 spark plugs

[j wodzinski]

I have a V6 (older style, 2002) 2.6 SRI Vectra.
It's due a service soon, but I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me if I require to get the spark plugs changed? i.e are they lifetime plugs? I think some of the new style Vectra's may have lifetime plugs, but I'm not sure.

This is the most expensive part of the service and if I can do without changing them, it would be a bonus.

Thanks

Meant to go 80k but best to get them done every 40k cos they seem to misfire before then.

The 80,000 but 40,000 advice is good and I would recommend following it.

I would also look in the service book if you have one. This shows Vauxhall's recommendations for cambelts, plugs, brake fluid, pollen filter etc.

I would recommend following that at the minimum.

The best advice is to check the service book for your car as recommendations changed but.....

Vauxhall changed their advice for some 8 year/80,000 mile cars and recommended 4 year/40,000mile changes instead.

What you do is up to you but they made the recommendation for a good reason!
