How to change the coil pack and spark plug leads on the Ford ‘Duratec’ 2.5 V6

This video shows you how to change the coil pack for the Ford Duratec V6 found in Mondeos, Cougars, and some Mazda cars.
It also gives help with changing the spark plugs and hi tension leads. Some people say you have to remove the intake manifold to change the rear bank ( cylinders 1-3 ), but they are WRONG.

ST200 V6 Cougar owner here. You can absolutely change your plugs on the rear (right) bank without removing the UIM. You can even do so if you've done the ST200 conversion from the basic ST24 becaue they have the same exteral dimensions.
Those ProSpark leads are really good, far cheaper than what Ford wants, and unless you're going mental they are perfectly fine.
But do make sure that you use the cab;e guides because otherwise they will wear through on the edges of the rocker covers.
Lastly, please be aware that there are two different types of coil pak and leads, depending on when the car was built. Make sure you get tjhe right set.

All very good points 👍

Just one question! What does UIM mean?

[@Orion40000]

@@ujhagyma "Upper Inlet Manifold". The bit on the top of the engine that sort of half-blocks the spark plug holes.

Thanks for this, helped a lot knowing that the spark plugs can be done without removing the intake. Fiddly but 100% possible as I did them yesterday!

Thank you for the video. I have to do it on my ST200 Mondeo, maybe next week. This tutorial will help me a lot.
