Re: Glowplug failure

glowplugs are easy to change (10 minutes) on these engines & cost around £12 each,

Re: Glowplug failure

If a glowplug is realy shot, the engine will run very bad when cold, after starting.

Re: Glowplug failure

Bosch Duratherm Chromium glowplugs, the best you can get, forget the rest.
Buy them at any Bosch Service Centre.
