Hiya,
Getting either or both, glowplug motif on dash flashing on after engine start, and or that and the message 'check glow plugs'. Strange because engine is starting fine...............however, thinking about changing the glowplugs on my 2009 1.3 MJD, any advice.................
Cheers Qube O.(y)(y)(y)
 
I have changed mine recently.
I did order a deep reach socket that is for glow plugs first.
Three came out easy, the last one was a pain but did come out eventually.
The flats were a little rounded. So I broke the head off and forced a slightly smaller socket on.
I also sprayed them with wd40 the night before then got the engine nice and hot.
Hope that helps.
 
Hiya, Thanks for the replies...........not sure if I'm going to bother at the moment. Car is starting fine when cold...just the warning after it starts, and even when hot the same warning appears. Its been suggested to leave well alone, as these engines will start happily on just 2 glowplugs working...though I guess eventually they will need changing. Cheers Qube O.
