   Hi there guys, i recently changed my spark plugs and everything seemed okay. There was this little black piece of plastic that is stuck on one of the old ones though, i didnt think much of it but now im starting to wonder if it came off the coil pack when i took it off! Could someone shed some light on it please? Also my car has been shaking alot on cold starts and saying "anti pollution faulty" could be something to do with the coil pack apparently. Its a 1.6 Petrol Citroen C4.

   Like above, comes off your spark plug wrench, it grips the plug, sits just up inside the socket.

   99% sure. Look inside tr wrench you used, more than likely a 10mm SparkPlug bit, if it's got nothing inside it (your looking for a rubber grommet with a hole though it) if that's not in there, thens it's on your plug. Come loose and got onto you plug.

   I got it from Halfords it was part of a tool set, but it wasn't long enough when I tried it in there! So I took it back haha!
