Help : Guidance for Platz Maintenance

hey guys. i m a poud owner of a 03 platz. the car is goin absolutely great. no problem whatsoever, either on petrol or on CNG. just need a lil guidance for the routine maintenance
1. i went to hyundai sawan motors to change the spark plugs, but they said that vitz / platz has some SPECIAL kind of spark plugs, and if not installed, the check engine lite turns on. as per MY understanding, the check engine lite is to do with emission control and some other technical problem if any. so, wat to do ? wat kind/brand of spark plugs to get for ma car, and from where?

2. ma engine on idle gives a clicking noise. i thought its cause of the tappits (or tabbeds...whatever the spelling). they guy there said that its of timing chain, as there is a timing chain in the vitz and platz instead of a timing belt. so please, guide me in this regard.

eagerly waiting for a response
thankz

Hello!
Well ....There is no such thing tat if u put some different plugs of different spec ..check engine light will get open....! it wont trigger CEL as there is nothing to CEL with plugs but engine starts to behave bad...!
B/w..Plugs Recommended for Platz from TOYOTA Motor Corp Japan are as follow...

Platz 1.0L(1SZ-FE Engine) uses Denso K16R-U

Platz 1.3L(2NZ-FE Engine) uses Denso K16R-U11

Platz 1.5L(1NZ-FE Engine) uses Denso K16R-U11

2.Yes ..Z-Gen engines uses timing chain instead of belt as it last longer than belt.......!!! but exp....! as per my Info..1.0L engine used in Platz/Vitz timing chain cost 7000/- Rs in market nowdays...! if its really timing chain..do replace it as soon as possible....!but make sure its timing chain...not anything else...!

Get Plug a/c to this this given name above..dont get beside it or your engine starts to behave bad....!
Regards
