Technical Glow plugs Qubo trekking - easiest way to remove?

[TezzzaToo]

Hi all,

Bit new to this so sorry if this question has already been asked - But what's the easiest way to remove the glow plugs from a 1.3 multijet Qubo?
Took a quick look & they're really blocked in, didn't know if literally everything has got to be removed for access or if there's a 'short cut'?


Thanks

Hi

What age 1.3

Early ones arent bad

It sounds like you have a later one with DPF kit in the way.. yes they are tricky

Im guessing you have a flashing glow symbol.. ?
Not always the plugs

Check the voltages at the 4x power leads if you can

Our glow plug warning has come and gone every now and then for the last 60,000 miles. Unless you develop other symptoms bide your time.

Hi
If you go thru fiorino mk3 section this has been covered in detail
But I still would leave until it does not start at all
You can have two glow plugs out and it will still start although a bit smokey

Thanks.. I knew somebody had covered the modern version

Plugs :

Try warming twice before cranking..
If it makes no difference to starting..
its probably not the plugs themselves at fault

My 07 mj blew its 50A fuse.. so glowplugs got no power

Hi all

Had this problem so took a look at Fiorino m3 post very good discretion of the process of changing glow plugs,but not the same as a Qubo ,I took pics of both the fiorino and my Qubo 1.3 Mulitijet 62 plate not the same at all .Yes alike, but turbo in different place air cowling different,and the location of the plugs are different,please advise if for some reason I have this totally wrong,the Qubo looks a much more difficult job.
