  • Glow plugs

    Hi

    Does anyone know how to change the glow plugs on a 2.4 TD? I have a manual, but it's next to useless on this point.

    It's easy.

    First you will need to remove the air trunking across the top of the engine to and from the turbo.

    Below this you can see a bus bar running along the top of the head on the passenger side. This is connected to the inlet manifold by one nut and some wires (remember how this is connected, it is very important that you get the spacer back on correct).

    Remove all the plastic and metal nuts that connect the bus bar to the glow plugs (4 of them).

    Remove the Bus Bar

    Remove the glow plugs (I think it is a deep 14mm socket that you need)

    Replace the glow plugs

    Replace the Bus Bar fitting all the nuts to the glowplugs.

    Connect the cables to the bus bar with the spacer fitted so that the cables nor the bar short out on the inlet manifold).

    Replace the air trunking.

    Start car and away you go.

    Cheers
