Getting belt service on my Stradale - Is it time for new plugs?

I had mine changed every 4 years or so despite low miles. Its cheap-ish in the scheme of ferrari ownership. When you say they haven't been changed...in "how long"? If its been over 4 years, no doubt I would change them. But your car obviously isn't really for driving (with 5k miles in 14 years, so how it drives is likely not much of a concern).

 

If the car is running well (it would run better if driven), leave them alone.

 

Although the plugs have low miles on them, they have been screwed into the heads for 15 years now if they are original. It is a good idea to at least remove, inspect and either re-gap or replace them and reinstall them with anti-seize. You don't want the plugs to seize into the threads in the heads, as that is a very expensive repair.

 

i say change them - what are you getting charged to do the belt service on the CS - curious where prices are on the other side of the country

 

I thought that NGK discouraged the use of anti-seize because their plugs are already coated, not to mention that it affects the rather sensitive torque spec.

 

they charged me $850 for the plugs replacement on a 458 (which i regretted doing now i know how to do it myself), at $400 it's a no brainer to do it just for the records of having it done. If you do it yourself it's prob just $200 and 1/2 a morning of work

 

interesting i had the dealer quote me 400 per plug for a 12 cylinder I passed I could not imagine where he got those numbers it also only had 3500 miles on a 2011..crazy
