Product Information

If the fuel system has been opened, also pay attention to cleanliness and seal the cables with a cap, if possible. Before installing, coat the thread and shaft of the new plug with glow plug installation grease to avoid "caking" later on.

I was stressed too that one or more plugs would snap, that is why I bought the full extraction kit as well. Unscrew: Then try to unscrew it once again and carefully loosen the glow plug out of the cylinder head with a suitable tool. (Do not exceed the maximum loosening torque. Always stop before reaching the tightening torque, if necessary try once again by heating up.) After the old glow plugs have been removed, always clean the thread, the conical seat and the glow plug channel in the cylinder head with suitable tools. Installing the New Glow Plugs Easy to access 12 mm hex head to drive the reamer into the hole. Because the head is steel it will allow you to tap on it without damage to the head. Under no circumstances should you continue turning – the glow plug might otherwise break off. Instead, proceed according to the 3-point program: "Slightly loosen – Warm up – Unscrew":Our new reamer comes with a proper size / material cleaning brush and PDF instructions on how to properly remove your glow plugs AND use this reamer on the following models: 1980-1985 617 and 617 diesel engine with cast iron cylinder heads.

You will be forever mentally scarred by the sight of the text "8mm" rotating at 100th of the pace of an actual snail. Section 1 covers all standard in build Glow Plugs. These are the Standard, Ceramic and Instant Start System Glow Plug. Manually disconnect the electrical connector on each glow plug. Important: when loosening the connector on do this manually, and do not use tools like pliers or similar.

When the plug is unscrewed all the way it probably still wont come out. Liberally apply more kroil everywhere and switch to a manual ratchet and work up one side so the plug gets lifted. They look so sad when they come out this will give you the necessary lift to keep going! I bought the famous Kroil penetrating oil and applied it twice on the top of the glow plug threads and let it sit there for 48 hours. I took this job on today with the essentially same kit as OP. It is not easy. Changing the clutch was more easy! [Actual lol] But I broke no plugs!If you have to use a bicep-building level of force to remove a glow plug they might either be damaged or have been in the car for too long. Instead of an aluminum threaded housing we use a steel housing that meets original glow plug specifications. This means you are less likely to cross thread the reamer and the threads hold up better because they are steel. They all came out quite easily. However I did apply the penetrating oil before as I wrote and gave it 2 applications and 2 days to do its work. The instructions that come with the vibro-impact tool say to start with 10 Nm and work your way up to 30 Nm if you have to but not recommended to use 40 Nm. When 2 plugs did not move on 10 Nm and initially neither with 20 Nm I used the vibro-impact tool in the FASTEN direction for a short blast. When I then reversed direction they spun out first very slowly but came out nicely.

However, before jumping into the job, you want to make sure you have a Manual Torque Wrench, and the right glow plugs for your vehicle. From advanced Integrated Pressure Glow Plugs to Standard Glow plugs, Champion ®has you covered.Just pulled mine. It's a 6 to 8 hours job. If you don't rush it it works well. Thanks for the nice description and the pictures. I got them all out but had an angular drill and a puller on stand by. Soaking them in oil and having a hot engine really helps, Starts like new. Happy I did it, finally. Important: Complete coverage of the plug hexagon head. Please use a torque wrench and note the permissible breaking torque.

Did you run injector cleaner or 2 stroke before hand to try to decoke the glow plugs and make them easier to get out. MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange And with our different Glow Plugs come different Installation steps to follow. See below for our dedicated installation procedures.The controller uses this information to adjust the current on-board voltage to the glow plugs, optimising engine operation. It requests vital information from the ECU, including glow requests, engine speed, coolant temperature and the amount of injected fuel to an exact desired glow plug voltage. The Glow Plug Control Unit then uses this information to adjust the current on-board voltage to this value, optimising engine operation. Cars may have become more complex over the years, yet changing your vehicle's glow plugs is, in most cases, still a job that you can handle yourself. Closely examine the glow plug and heater tube surface. A slightly ‘shiny’ appearance indicates the heater tube has been caked by carbon and ‘scuff/swirl’ marks are where the plug has been unscrewed through the carbon.
