[Peugeot-L] Re: 505 turbo - broken spark plug

The only time I've had any difficulty removing a plug from a head was in one of my 404s with fuel injection - I broke two spark plug wrenches trying to get it out. The cause was a cracked head, right down the threading of that plug.....

That in turn was caused by an overheating episode (pegged the car in red 18 months earlier) due to the coolant freezing on a long descent in minus 15 C weather and then the engine heating up as I drove over Second Narrows bridge in Vancouver....

I hope that's not the case with you. I've changed about 150 plugs in my day and that's the only one I've ever had trouble with.
