I just did this.. and was very straight forward.. this is just off the top of my head
- remove engine covers
- remove igniters - 1 or 2 bolts on each and they pull out
- top engine mount was blocking rear passenger side igniter - remove
you should have access to all the plugs
- remove each, check condition, install new plug - torque to spec 22ft-lbs
There are a lot of similarities with the V8 setup - https://www.pelicanparts.com/techart...eplacement.htm
very straightforward - have fun!

Thanks so much for doing this for us! I’ll definitely change my own once they come due in 25k miles.
I got you! I was in the same position and even saw this thread. There's no video out there! So, I made one yesterday.

THIS IS AWESOME!!! I can finally reference these for my spark plugs change!
Quick question - Should I gap or gap check the spark plugs?
Now days they are usually pre-gapped but just to be sure, wonder what the gap should for 958.2.... 0.032?

You're welcome. I would have done the oil change but that is way too messy for this vehicle.
I bought the pre-gapped from Bosch Double Platinum. I would have actually just bought the OEM spark plugs from Suncoast. NGK for the Cayenne is hard find or non existent!

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding plug change for my 2016 Cayenne S with 83k miles. I just ordered new Bosch plugs from FCP (now I am learning I need to replace the coil bolts as well) but I am wondering if you all think it would be prudent to order new coils while I'm at it. I do not have any codes or check engine lights. I have however noticed a very slight rough idle at times, which is why I want to throw new plugs in. They were last changed at 55k miles, so they are due. I'm just wondering if I should just start with the plugs, or spend another few hundred dollars and do coils as well, they seem to come new bolts anyway. I'm just asking because there arent a lot of folks online who have discussed changing their coils with this particular year/model. Its mostly the V8 Cayenne S I'm seeing discussed. Thank you!
