Technical Glow plug corrosion!

[fv43576]

My 1.3 Multijet 75 the glow plug on the third hole from the gearbox side is corrosion when the engine is running I have notice the plug vibrate lot more than the other three plugs. I look it closer I can see the neck is separate from the plug mean is snap already. Do you think I should be remove at my own garage at home with my tools or I should send my car to the garage & remove by special a tool?

I have never had broken plug before so I don't know what is like to happen?
I hope someone can advice me what to do

Hi,
the plugs can snap as they are screwed into the engine..,
it needs specialist tools to remove if broken in this way,

take it to a VAUXHALL dealer for a quote

where are you / the car based..??

Colchester, my car can drive on the road that is why I would not touch till the car is gone to the garage

I have took my car to the dealer called 'County Motor Works Vauxhall, Alfa Romeo & Jeep' in Chelmsford they have finished remove the broken plug today. Total £83 +vat not a bad price but one thing the mechanical told me that my car oil filter metal cover is missing. Should I worry about that? he said the exhaust manifold heat will crack the plastic screw cap in the future.

There is a reason why FPT (Fiat Powertrain Technology, which build those engines) have put this metal cover over the plastic housing of the oil filter: heat from the exhaust manifold !

You garage Guy is correct, have this part reinstalled ASAP !!
BTW, depending where the glow was snaped, you should be able to remove it yourself...
