This is a mini how-to. This engine has a wet sump. Unlike it’s predecessors, the 3200 and 4200. So an oil service is just as with any other regular engine. Thanks for watching

    Sori Bud, I`m a bit late on this video, but thank you very much for this tip..`I'm sure to save this video... My question is this this - when you unscrew them, is this the point where they normally breaks.. Or have you or maybe anyone else found that they break off anywhere else. ??

    Thanks for the video. I used this information to solve the same problem. But I managed it much easier and without a magnet, because I just didn't have a magnet on Sunday, I had planned to buy it the next day. My simple method was to inject compressed air into the glow plug bore and the glow plug's heating element flew out the nozzle bore.

    Looked at your video and thought I’ll give this a try ( Citroen Dispatch 1.6hdi ) I found that only the tip of the glow plug is magnetic enough to be picked up. Before you try this make sure the tips of the glow plugs are magnetic by testing a removed one. Tried and tried to get a connection just about to give up then bingo it worked. Thanks a lot for this tip. Hope I never have to use it again.😄
