This video is to show that resistance checking doesn't prove plug performance. The video is not a tutorial on how to remove and install glow plugs ie: i do not discuss engine warm or cold, reamers, anti-size etc...
I hate changing glow plugs Dave I pretty much pray before I touch one 😊 , I broke one on a Ford Mondeo what a pain ... Nice to see the Waveform análises 👍👌
Great video from a local mechanic well explained 😊
Cheers Dave, enjoyed that wee video , just waited to everyone went to bed so I could watch it on my big TV. I'm starting to understand more now on the pico , brilliant bit of kit , cheers , Ian 👍
Cheers ian
Great video! I have no.2 glow plug fault, I’m unsure if I have sensored glow plugs or non sensored. Mine too is a 2.0 tdci Zafira tourer.
Always nice to watch some diesel work.. and that scope🤗. nice job dave..
Thanks 👍
done clutch and flywheel few days after christmas a pig of a job. and the car wont to a regen with them fault codes also . thanks for sharing dave
yip, cheers ian
Thanks for another quality video Dave, it’s info like the colour coding on glow plugs that’s invaluable. I’ve seen plenty of burned out plugs by people pushing 12v at them with these cheap glow plug testing devices.
Very true, Gary
I hate doing glow plugs because nearly always one of them leaves the tip broken off in the head.. Maybe its just my luck. I believe if you pull the glow plugs at around 100,000km you'll have less chance of running in trouble. Most problems I get is due carbon build up when the plug is not working. So I pull them while there still working.. Totally personal choice on this one..
Absolutely true, if they are in too long they don't want to come out
Excellent video, mate 👍
I always get the fear changing glow plugs lol one of those "quick" jobs that can become a very long one. Good video dave 👍
oh Reverend, i didn't think a confident man would have the fear
Nice demonstration of the glow plug PWM and current draw (or lack of it in cyl 1)
cheers Matt, just watched your ABS test
dave i was thinking you where over overcomplicating it with the scope . but it was very interesting to see to pwm
yeah, its more of a demonstration to get a better understanding
Nice diagnosis Dave, Very informative Video,,
Nice job brother i gotta do mine in my daily 328D not looking forward to it LOL I hear the injectiors are like an act of god. I don’t do many common rails only gasers. Happy new year’s my friend
Aye Jay, pull them before the 100k, this one has 77k and most are weak. BMW's aren't too bad usually to do. Happy New Year Jay
R these plugs not got sensors on them seen sim 2.0 cdti got different ones
Great video. I have a 2015 Zafira C 2.0 CDTi and its showing the same fault, but on cylinder 3. I spoke to my local garage and they are saying I need glow plugs with an igniter. I've been quoted over £150 per plug! When I search, however it says they are the same as you have on the video, which are about £25 each. Does this sound right to you?
very nice video, to see a glow plug on a waveform.
Great video Dave. Whats an acceptable resistance value for glow plugs in general?
less that 1 ohm
@@davesterl thanks dave.
Excellent demo as usual 👍
great video an content as always Dave ,you explain things very clearly ,thanks for sharing your time and knowledge

Thanks for that video. Really useful!. I have the exact same car and it was not starting properly on occasions. Other times it was struggling to get up to any decent speed very quickly. Did an obd and got the same as you got for cylinder 1,2 & 4. How much should I expect to pay to get this fixed in the uk? roughly
Fantastic demo Dave....
Cheers Johnny, glad u like it
Great video Dave 👍 is it always best to change all the glow plugs ? I had one go on my yeti 2.0 tdi I ask the mechanic he said you just need to change one ? I didn’t think that was right ?
Yeah this video shows the performance across all the plugs. Only one good one
Very informative, thanks
Great video Dave, scope results sure proved number 1 busted , scarey when undoing them , saying to yourself please dont snap , top job , happy customer again , well done , how did you order your storm induction heater ?
for sure mike. i think i bought the heater on ali express
@@davesterl have been looking at them for a while , think 302 /310 is cheapest
I too having the same warning message in my 2013 Zafira ecoflex. Also getting engine vibration at times only while accelerating at high speed on motorway. Cityride is normal. Not sure what's the problem
Please what scanner( tool) did you use and how do I get or download the Vauxhall Zafira Tourer C 2013 software ?
Iv got same car same engine same year but my plugs are pressure sensor ones are yours ?
Ah...I see. It’s duty cycled in order to attain the “4.4V” rated value. Never realized that. Virtually no diesel experience. Interesting. Cheers Dave 👍
oh mate, you're missing out with our diesels over here.... lol
@@davesterl 🤣 maybe....Is that assumption correct Dave. I am watching this on my phone I can’t quite see the Voltage scale on the right hand side?
@@TheGibby3340 yep, straight 12v will blow these plugs
Dave what is your view on these glow plug impact guns like the sealey SA141 that apply very low 10,20,30,40 NM to the plug socket. Run them for 3 min cycle and increase the NM. Assume they break the bond using vibration. Not used one but guess its another way.
Yes, i have one. Used it the other day on a siezed bleed nipple on a caliper. Worked a treat and reused nipple
Great stuff as al
Much appreciated
@@davesterl no mate u take time and effort and I like watching I’m a tech and still love watching um
Hi. How to remove what overhang obstructing glow plug change? On B20DTH Zafira C i cant even remove engine plastic top cover :)
Hi you need to remove the plastic rivet first and then you can remove the plastic cover just pop up on each corner the unplug the washer hose. After that you have two 1m bolts and clips to remove then done
