Vauxhall insignia glow plug replacement

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- had a lumpy start when cold so i suspected glow plugs plugged it in to a diagnostics tool and was showing a fault on cylinder 1 and 3 glow plug so i decided to change them and as they were cheap i changed all 4 no point messing around
be very careful they can shear off very easily
i didn't show how to test them as the average diy person wont be able to do it
OBD2 scanner link below
this wasn't the one i used but will work the same

You can lube up the new ones with a dab of ceramic grease. The threads and the part sitting inside till the heating element itself. It will help a lot removing them in the future. And one more important thing is they will unscrew easier when engine hot, but also they will screw in easier. In other words, if the engine is still hot and you torque them to 10Nm, when it will be cold you would have to use more than 10Nm to break them loose. So it's easier to remove them with hot engine, but when you put the new ones in you better wait till the engine gets cold and then torque them to spec.
Sounds like good advice thanks dale
You would only expect to change them once in the normal lifetime of a vehicle, so grease or anything else is a waste of time.
I suppose your right but it's good practice I suppose it don't hurt to put some on
Nice simple instructions, straight to the point, no ten minutes of bullshit like some.10 out of 10.
Sorry didn't see this comment
Thank you for your comment means a lot 👍
Hi I gave it a try today - it took a bit of time to get proper tools - I recommend torque adapter they work both ways clockwise and counter clock and they have a scale from 1Nm - 200Nm - I only manage to remove one 3 others are stuck so now I started using oil and we will see what happens after a week - thanks once more for video very very helpful
That's no worries John I hope the oil frees them up for you
Brilliant video, it works👍 I have been spraying WD-40 every day on the glow plugs for the pass 3 days, today I drove the car to get it nice and hot then a bit more WD-40 and I gently released them as you said. No problem about 15mins All 4 done. Thank you for this excellent video. 👍👍
That's great bornto it's really good to hear a success story and you saved lots of money great effort well done
And thank you for your comment
Thanks dave
Great solid video, clear explanation, I actually my fingers crossed as you were doing it hoping the glow plugs wouldn't break 😂
Thanks Mark I appreciate it. This time I got lucky lol
Great video, thank you. Have changed mine now, came out a treat. Shame mine are the expensive ones! Still got an intermittent starting problem though, so investigations continue.
That's brilliant news well done.
What is the starting issue?
Is it cold start ? Hot start ?
Great advice to set the torque driver a little lower than the installation setting. Get them moving with the motor hot, work them back and forward until they become loose, all the while spraying penetration oil. Use a bit of copper grease on the threads and shaft on reassembly.
Thank you Don
I try add tips in to help people out if I can
Good advice on the cooper grease 👍
I've got a fiat bravo (same engine) I'm attempting this shortly as I have 1 faulty glow plug and genuinely dreading it but this video gives a great insight with simple how to. Great thanks. 👍
Thank you for your comment
I hope it all goes ok
Let me know how u get on
Better to do when the engine is warm and been driven minimum one hour . It's shall be easier.
Nice work 👏
I agree 100% people need to be careful of burns tho but definitely needs to be warm
Hot engine, WD40 and a 1/4" drive 9mm deep socket. easiest job to do. If it starts squeaking spray and screw back in a little and then screw out. That was in a Vectra with 145000 miles on the clock.
Perfect advice for others thanks for your comment
Cool vid i just bought an insignia and its having number 2 glow plug done and a couple of other jobs done by the garage to make it right for me. Lovely car
There a good car and comfortable to drive
another little tip, get the engine hot ( up to operating temperature ) before attempting to loosen the glow plugs, it definitely helps
I thought I put that in the video ? Maybe I didn't can't remember
But good tip
Great video thanks, mine has needed a plug for a while now. Was told by the dealer that you can replace a sensor plug with a non sensor plug as long as you change them all.
Mine is a 2012, 2.0, 160 Sri
Thank you appreciate your comment
I didn't know that I assumed it would have to be the same because of the wiring but I'm sure the dealer's know
I've got a 2012 Astra J 2.0, my plugs have pressure sensors on, £82 each and have 3 faulty. It is putting 'Service Vehicle Soon' on display. I tested them in car with multi meter, 2 are giving strange readings and 1 is open circuit. Decided to change that one and see what happens, doing it tomorrow.
Let us know how you get on with changing the one be interesting to know
@@Thediycarchannel Finally changed glow plug, took about 5 mins to do, was really easy, just got to be so careful, used deep 12mm socket, engine was hot after drive to work. Also put a bit of Copper grease on the threads of new one. Service Vehicle Soon message still on display, will get hold of code reader and erase fault codes. See what happens then.
Fair play thats what it's about saved yourself a packet there
Ye if that was the plug at fault a cheap OBD2 will clear it
Thank you for taking the time to do this video 👍
That's no problem people like you make it worth the time and effort the comment really means a lot thank you
Thanks for the video, it looks really straightforward, and so informative. My question is, how would you know if they are glow plugs with or without sensors? There's a bit of a price difference so I am hoping my 2015 model needs ones without sensors. Thanks!
No worries. As far as I know the sensor type of a big box on top the normal ones don't
Thank you for a clear and informative video, mate! All the best, JC.
That's no problem at all
Thank you for you kind comment top man 👍 thank you
Pressure sensor is something to do with tdc which is determined by the diaphragm in the sensor bit. This also has something to do with regeneration of dpf. If there is an expert who knows let me know. I just shelled out 360 for 4. Fitted and faults gone. Was also throwing g up cra kshaft reluctor ring p1325 hence pressure sensor measures pressure in cy.inder and determines tdc. I have icarsoft cr Pro good bit of kit.
I don't know the ins and outs but glad your issue is fixed shame about the price tag tho
Smashing stuff. Thanks for sharing mate, very detailed.
That's no problem thank you for you comment really means a lot you are all great and make it worth the time making the videos
My Pleasure.
Massive help, thanks 👊
No worries Alfie thanks for your comment
Brilliant video pal ,well explained 👏 quick question does anyone know what causes them to go ?
No worries.
Just wear and tear I'm guessing
I did them on my vectra, snapped one after about 10 minutes of turning and trying to pry up whilst turning and the tip snapped (never came out after 12 months of use) and the other 3 I got them so the thread was out of the hole then squirted wd40 down there, tightened them back up and 2 days later, once cracked, they came out by hand
That's not good at all Bennie
Did you need a longer glow plug with the sensor on top? Thks. Great video. Ty
No not for my model car you will need to double check for yours tho
Good video, best to sell it now before something else inevitably goes.
Nice car to drive and good value for money in second hand market but it has several issues that can cost heavy money.
Hi I'm thinking of buying a Vauxhall insignia what major issues sign should I look out for? Cheers.
Did you reply it popped up in my inbox but not on the feed?
I don't think I did or was you asking crimhthan
Hard with issues didn't have any with mine but know of one's with dual mass faults , turbo faults , rear springs breaking that's all I know of really
@@Thediycarchannel To be honest every car does have it's own issues. I had 2 mondeos before and on both the injectors broke and had issues with the break, rear bearings and so on but it doesn't mean that if you buy one you will get them issues. It's all about how the car has been serviced and maintained I would say. Now I have an insignia estate and I only have to change one glow plug but I'm really happy with it so far. Nice video, thank you!
@@georgelupas yes you are right thank you for the positive comment
Hi there just bought an 09 2.0 cdti 160 ,with 150,000 ,service history to 128,000 ,got a few gremlins on dash eg battery light ,esp light now and again ,and service soon ,any recmemdations would be helpful,ps not very good at diy lol........cheers
Give it a full service there's a video on my channel of how to do it
Battery light could be faulty alternator or belt slipping on it
Esp I'm not to sure on
Hope this helps
Good clear video mate nice one for taking the time to share your knowledge, appreciated!
Thank you for you comment and it's no problem
Thanks for video mate going to change mine now
No probs thank you for the comment let me know how you get on
Fantastic Job mate, Vauxhall wanted to do it for me for £340 😱 have you got the links for the code thing and the glow plugs , mine is a 2015 Vauxhall insignia 2.0lt , great video my friend, thanks for sharing this with us all 👍😊👍
What do you mean the code thing ?
And thank you for your positive comment means a lot make the videos worth my time
Your welcome again, I've found the decoder on Ebay, I'll get the glow plugs soon, cheers bro 👍😁👍
Thanks very much for the video - I have just got this problem - I think I will try myself to deal with this but need to get keys first and use penetration oil as you suggest - best regards - according to euro car parts I am lucky and have glow plugs without pressure measure ;)
That's no probs at all I hope it helps you out spray them well if they don't come out with a tiny bit of force stop and spray again and go for a drive and repeat till they do come out it don't take much to snap them so be very careful
Yes there a lot cheaper your jammy like me lol
@@Thediycarchannel Thanks once more I will try to be careful
Yes you will be ok just take your time John
Thanks for this really helpful. Can I ask what year Insignia is please. Mine is needing new glow plugs
No worries Dom.
It was the 2.0 cdti 2011
Test them using jump leads and a screwdriver. Attach one end of the leads to the battery positive.. and one end to a screwdriver. Then ping the tip of the plug. If it sparks its a good plug.
For the cost of them I just put new ones in
@@Thediycarchannel if you get them trade price yes. But us normal people have to pay up to 10pound a plug
@@juliandavies1974 I didn't get trade I brought Bosch ones from eBay and I think they were more than £10 each
Cost me just over £50 if I remember right
O I am a normal person by the way
@@Thediycarchannel but my orginal point is you dont neext special equipment (as you said you do) to test glow plugs...
You should be going back in with them when they squeak and spraying wd40 on the threads. That squeak is it getting too tight and could easily snap
looking for some advice people!! most times starting my insignia the engine shudders loads a day even cuts out sometimes. no lights on the dash or anything!! any suggestions?
Could be a long list Jamie. I would look at the fuel system i.e fuel filter, fuel injectors etc
I've got a 2012 Astra J 2.0, these have glow plugs with pressure sensors, just paid £82 for 1 and I've got 3 faulty!!!!
That's not great at all is it I was hoping mine didn't and I was lucky they didn't feel for you but at least once it's done it's done
Where did you get them from?
@@skyman1883 I picked them up at a local independant car parts place, I checked online, Euro Car parts and phoned around, best price was £82 and it was a dealer part, part number 55590467.
Got my glow plugs for £95 + VAT = £114 and paid £45 for labour as well as + £35 diagnostic so all together paid £194 ...
That's not to bad with parts to be fair
Great advice !
Thank you
i have a question, i have a insignia 2013 CDTI the glow plugs i have are the expensive sensors, do i have to replace them with the with sensors plugs ? or can i put the cheaper non sensor ones thanks in advance
It needs the sensor type if that's what it has pat unfortunately.
Just done mine pressure sensor glow plugs. You got just 4 standard? 160 bhp ecotec have pressure sensing glow plugs
Yes mine was the non pressure plugs it's the 158bhp
i was told i need to replace cylinder 1 and 2 glow plugs. is that left to right? so 1 is on the far left. what size socket did you use to undo the glow plugs?
Yes from left to right looking at the engine from the front.
I can remember sizes it should say in the video or discription
Need to get mine done as cylinder 1 & 4 glow plug according to scanner, however I’m unsure if I need to get the expensive ones (with pressure sensors) as mine is ecoflex (start/stop).
Did you just replace with normal glow plugs (without sensors)?
I did yes but mine didn't have pressure sensors on them
If you look at them you will know strait away there is like a little box with the sensor glow plugs and if not it's just your standard glow plug hope this helps
I have same problem, the connectors are completely different to mine and on the video. As much as it hurts I reckon need to change like for like.
Got the link to those glow plugs? Thanks
I dont sorry this was a very long time ago now I'm. Not even sure which ones it would be and I don't have the car to check sorry
Hey! What instruments do you use?
Not sure what you mean maks sorry
I was told that I can't use the cheap glow plugs that I need to buy the sensor glow plugs at 160 a piece, I have a 2014 vauxhall insignia I'm getting took on any help please
If you have sensor glow plugs that's what you need to refit. Mine where non sensor ones luckily
@@Thediycarchannel thanks you for your reply, I hopeing that wasn't the case 🙈🤣
That's no worries. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news
Maybe try a scrap yard and only replace the faulty ones
Is this a very common fault on the insignia mine has just come up with it
I wouldn't say it's a common fault it's just wear a tare really
Hi I have a sigina same as yours, 2013 cdti nav mk1 I'm going to change my glow plugs, what type will I need to get ones with sensors
Appreciate if you can tell me thanks John
I wouldn't know it will need checking with the parts counter using your number plate
Very informative clip!
I’m going to buy a insignia 2.0 CDTI 16v sri. What should I check before buying it?!
Thank you. Just do the normal checks that you would buying any car, depending on the milage. Check when cam belt was done. Also they can have an oil pressure problem due to a seal giving in so just mention it. There good cars for the money very comfortable and they pull well. Just make sure it's been looked after, check the history well.
Thank you!
No worries let me know if you buy it.
Better to bring to a garage sensitive job easy but. Many thanks
Best way if you don't feel confident
Really enjoyed your vid, very well explained. If I can ask your opinion. I have a pug 407 Sw 2.0 diesel. I am looking for a insignia 2012 to 2014 2.0 diesel SRI model, I know they upgraded after 2013 but do you think it's that much better than pre 2013 cars. Many thanks. Kim.
Thank you
Not sure on the newer insignia I did look at a 2014 one but the interior seemed more tatty like cheap plastic to me
So ended up buying my first BMW 4 series
God's honest truth I have had more issues with the BMW than I ever did with the 2011 insignia
Insignia and the insignia was half the price
@@Thediycarchannel Thanks for reply, I just heard that the engine was a little more quite, not as loud as the older model. If I can trouble you one last time, what year is your one and do you think the engine is overly loud when driving. Cheers. Kim.
I had the 2011 model would say it wasn't overly loud just your normal diesel sounding engine it was smooth and comfortable to drive
Good video, saved for a later date.
Thank you hopefully it helps
You must to clean glow plug hole before instal it, otherwise you will have leaks there...
It would be good practice but trust me you can't get to them mine was all good after no issues and I didn't clean the holes
Great video. what Size of socket are you using 🤔
Thank u DC everything should. Be in discription
can a bad plug can cause a bad start also at warm start ? sometime is quiet nice and sometimes pretty irritative at 80-90 degree engine temp
Bad plug cold start yes
Warm start can be all sorts best ask a garage to have a look
And having a scanner help save you on costs
It does and they are cheap
what sort of socket do you use for the glow plug,cheers
Used a long socket
@@Thediycarchannel What size in mm is the socket? I know it needs to be a deep socket.
10mm mine where
I have no issue starting my car and I don't have any warning lights on . But I do have an issuie when I start my car and the engine back fires .
Do you think this could be the glow plugs ? It also jurkes when am driving in low speeds. Thank you
It wouldn't be the glow plugs
I would check the EGR value if it's jerking
Not sure with back fire never heard a diesel do that
Just changed two of mine but now the car doesnt seem to start. Any ideas? Definitley screwed in and connectors clipped on the new ones
Glow plugs shouldn't stop the car starting. Just make it slow to start and would smoke heavily on start up due to unburnt fuel.
I would double and triple check everything is connected and check you didn't knock anything
@@Thediycarchannel thanks mate will have a tinker again
No worries let me know what you find
@@Thediycarchannel car seems fine now. I think I also cleaned the map sensor yesterday but don't think I let the cleaner evaporate enough. Think it may have still had a few damp bits and that's why it wouldn't run yesterday. Sweet as a nut today thanks for the advice either way
@lentilsouper no worries glad to hear it's OK
I need to replace the glow plug for cylinder 2. Are the cylinders ordered 1234 from left to right?
Yes there are
Hi is doing the clutch master cylinder easy to do on the insignia... I know its done from inside
I have no idea I have never done one sorry I can't help
Just a quick question for anyone who doesn't mind answering, will oil still seep in if I haven't untightened the plug, as to lube it up prior, or does it have to be cracked off so far for it to be effective? And which is best, regular car oil or wd something like that. Thank you in advance.
I don't understand the question sorry
Understandable with me. 😂 Was just wondering if I used wd40 or oil and give it a good spray prior to getting a torque wrench on it, do you think some would seep in the threaded area on the plug over several days or will I have to get a torque wrench on it first then chuck some lube at it. Cheers.
@@120poundsound2 yes it does get some good penetrating oil I use it in the video spray it 2-3 days ever day prior to the job really let it soak in
@@Thediycarchannel thanks for the advice fella much appreciated 👍
@@120poundsound2 no problem give them a good spray everyday for at least 5 days if u can
It may smoke a bit and smell but don't worry it's normal
Hello, everyone is full of pants😁, replacing the glow plugs for the first time. Great movie.
Good luck
Fantastic vid
Thank you
Very good mate 👌🏻
Thank you appreciate the comment 👍
Amazing
Thank you glad you liked it
My revs bounce between 800-1000 rpm when cold, and the service vehicle soon light has been on for a week now. I changed the fuel filter, air and cabin filter using your video but could not get the rounded sump plug off (grrr neither could my garage) anyway my question is would my revs bounce if there's a faulty glow plug.
No I doubt it is glow plugs
I would be leaning more towards air flow meter known as MAF sensor
But buy a genuine one if you do buy one as cheap remakes rarely work
Unplug your current max sensor if it runs like a bag of crap and cuts out it's not the MAF sensor
But if you unplug it and it's still the same change it with a genuine one hope this helps
Thanks Dave
@@Thediycarchannel I unplugged it and nothing happened apart from the revs dropped for a second then it ran smooth without it plugged in, does this mean the maf is not working?
(although maf shows activity when I use my odb2 scanner)
@@M25GOO very possible it should run like a bag of crap with out it and potential cut out
If it don't change when unplugged that's your problem
@@Thediycarchannel thanks 👍
@@M25GOO no problem I hope it sorts it but if it don't I am sorry but not seeing it etc is hard
But I would be confident that will sort your issue from what you are saying
But buy a genuine one from vauxhall
Please, could u write down the sizes of tools and what kind of tools did u use?
Cheers
Used a long 10mm socket short extension bar and the rachet
Lots of penetrating spray
And got the engine hot
Why engine hot for glowplugs but cold for sparkplugs????
I do both the same
I've got a 1.9cdti 08 auto zafira getting code 000175 fuel meter solenoid valve everything fuel related been changed but eml still coming on while driving and sometimes limp mode does the fault code need to be wiped is that why still having an issue
Some EML lights would keep putting it in to limp mode as a safety precaution even if the parts are replaced you would need the code cleared and see what happens after if it comes back on check what it is
Hope this helps
@@Thediycarchannel thank you will clear it and see what happens fingers crossed
@@minimayhem18 no probs let me know how it goes please be good to know
@@Thediycarchannel will do thanks
Ok great thank you
Is this only for diesel cars?
Yes only diesel cars have glow plugs
Nice one proper squeaky bum time that is
Yes it is 😂😂😂
But all went ok thank god
Is there a way to check if my car is a 2 on 2 or all 4 glow plugs with the pressure sensor?
The glow plugs with sensors have a box on them
@@Thediycarchannel what kind of box is it? Is it directly on the glow plug?
I think it's on top a little black plastic box but I personally haven't seen any
The ones without are just a normal glow plug
@@Thediycarchannel ok thank you I'll have a look!
No worries
Do you recommend putting ceramic grease as anti-seize?
Never used it so can't recommend it sorry
Other channels recommend to cleanup the socket with delicate brush (not to make dammage to aluminium pommel) to remove soot and then use ceramic grease for better/safer protection from shearing - this also depends on service routines for each of the manufacturers - but this needs sterile conditions as you are working above the piston
You can do this and it's good practice but if you get any chunks in the hole or in the cylinder you can potentially have big problems
Mine wasn't bad at all
And the factory don't put ceramic grease on
Other issue is if you grease it it can mess up torque settings
Hi sorry to trouble you once more - I try to remove glow plugs sockets but I was not able they are stuck and I don't want to damage something - any advice what to do in this impasse situation? Also I discover that in the area where glow plugs are located is visible coolant - do not have an idea what can cause a leak - there is no oil in the coolant and no coolant in the engine oil - please help
If there very stuck and you have coolant around there it may be a good idea to go to a garage to be honest
If there very stuck I normally give it a good spray with wd40 or penetrating spray and use the car for a day i.e going to work etc get it hot and keep repeating till they come loose you do not want to snap them
The coolant I'm not sure about without seeing it but I would point at the head gasket first but it may not be that but very hard to say over messages
My advice is take it to a garage really
@@Thediycarchannel Thanks I will but do not understand why the caps on the glow plugs are so stuck - looking on your video this shouldn't be so hard - any way thanks best regards
They are very tight to pull off
I am sorry I got mixed up I thought you meant the glow plugs
The caps on top are tight to get off give it a good pull but do not pull on the wires
And your no trouble at all by the way this is why I'm here you can ask as much as you like
@@Thediycarchannel Thanks very much
No worries John let me know how you get on
Hi
How did you know whether they were standard or pressure sensor type?
Or it doesn't really matter what type you fit?
Thank you
Yes it does you need to refit what you have
The normal glow plugs are like the one I use in the video
The pressure sensor type have a box on them sort off if you Google search you will see what I mean
Just check yours before ordering pull engine cover off and have a look
@@Thediycarchannel thank you very much mate. Appreciate it.
That's no problem I hope I helped you can also give you number plate to a part ordering company like euro car parts they should know what is listed and you can get prices at the same time
i might sound like a newby, but im doin the wb-40 spraying, just cant workout the collect plugs ? insignia 2013 2.0 CDti
Not sure what you mean pat sorry
@@Thediycarchannel i havent worked out which glow plugs i need, the expensive or the cheaper ones insignia 2013 CDTI
Ah if you go online like gsf car part for example you should be able to put your reg in and it should say what you need failing that call Vauxhall and give them your vin and ask what glow plugs it needs
Hi mate, great video. Do you think glow plugs will have anything to do with my insignia shaking when accelerating?
Thank you appreciate it
No it won't be that glow plugs only heat diesel to start the car that's there job done then
Faulty glow plugs would cause it to turn over more before starting on cold mornings and it would chuck a bit of smoke
Do you have any lights on ?
Engine management lights ?
Thankyou. No lights on
Really hard to say what it could be a very long list of things
I know, thats the problem, it hasnt done a regen in months for some reason, could that be anything to do with it and can i force it to do one?
Could be possibly or egr starting to play up
A garage can do a forced regen
Did the glow plugs have pressure sensors and if not does it matter?
Very important question. I comunicated with Opel servis before some days. They told me that for my type of engine (Insignia 2.0 CDTI, A20DTH, 118kW) is possible to use 2 glow plugs with preasure sensor and 2 glow plugs with no sensor. I checked visualy actual status but I have all glow plugs witch preasure sensor. Than i dont understad of Opel servis solution (there is big diference between price - no preasure sensor price is around 30 eur and with sensor 5x more).
mine didn't have pressure sensors but if you have pressure sensors you will need to replace them with pressure sensor glow plugs more expensive but its the way it is
@@DusanZke weird why opel would say that but if it was me I'd replace them with what was there so if u have pressure sensor just bite the bullet and get the glow plugs with pressure sensor no chance of things messing up then
What socket size?
It should be in the video. I can't remember now it's been a very long time ago
how much wood it b at the garage
I'd say around £100 including parts at most that's if it all goes ok
I don't use garages so can't give an exact idea unfortunately
how do i no what glow plugs i need
@@aaronfoster1256 call Somone like euro car parts and give them your number plate they can advise normally then
Do you have a link for the purchase ? Also do they have the pressure sensor on them ?
No these don't have the pressure sensors but you are best checking to see if yours needs them
I will find a link for you in the next hour just having my tea 😉

thanks Dave
After you click the link up the top right enter your number plate to check they fit you vehicle
@@Thediycarchannel Do you know if there is a cheaper version of the pressure plugs?
I don't sorry. I had the non sensor type
Does these glow plugs fit to a 2.0 118kw insignia?
I'm not 💯 sure sorry
Mine was 160bhp
@@Thediycarchannel if 118kw=160 hp than it is the same engine if im right, my question is if i can use these like you, i don't need some sensor glows or such stuff? Thank you for your fast answer😁
You need to check your model mine didn't have pressure sensors so I was lucky because mine are the cheaper option
If u have sensor plugs you will need to refit the same

Hi I've an 2009 opel insignia 2.0 diesel service vehicle soon light on and not starting.. could it be because of glow plugs..? And 2. Question is if glow plugs is not work can the vehicle start? Thank you
It should start depending how cold it it is but would chuck loads of smoke out the glow plugs only heat the diesel so should start or should attempt to start but be rough and lots of smoke from in burnt fuel
@@Thediycarchannel but it just attemp to start but sometimes it's starts but stop again immediately.. and it's not power on gaspedal... it's seems like the engine not get fire... what can it be?
If there is a fault on the dash it's best to get it plugged in it could be a big list
It could be the MAF sensor
Crank sensors
Injectors
Lamda sensors
Fuel system blocked etc
Water in fuel filter
Really it could be anything if there is a light on the dash that's good because it's picked up a fault get it plugged in and go from there
@@Thediycarchannel there is nothing on dash only service vehicle soon on dash. It was cople weeks ago it's come and after that the car not start.. I use diagnostic but there no fault to show.. I surrender that is maybe something on fuelsystem but I'm not sure..
It will be a process of elimination
I would replace the fuel filter first and go from there
But it could be all sorts
There is a video on the channel doing a full service in that video it shows how to change the fuel filter
Service
So once you have replaced the plugs you need to get the code cleared,it doesn't just clear itself??
It didn't on mine think there is a link in the discription to a OBD2 scanner there only cheap
Would be cheaper to buy one then to go garage to clear it
@@Thediycarchannel ,so I done No1 glow plug on my zafita tourer today as a guy in work said that's what his super dooper code reader said that's what it was saying but the message was still there and I thought I would need a "proper" code reader to clear it but I was on another video and the guy cleared the message with a wee cheap Chinese reader not unlike the one I have so I dug mine out and the jobs done,cheers for the reply 👍I thought once the fault was fixed the error message would clear but obviously not!
@@skipraida5497 no not with a fault like that it logs on ECU
Happy it's all sorted
And no probs for the reply I'm here to try help people out
Thanks for watching
I appreciate it 👍
@@Thediycarchannel ,I even put the old glow plug with the help of a jump lead across the battery and it never glowed although it did heat up so I was convinced that's what the issue was 👌
@@skipraida5497 definitely the issue only takes seconds and should glow red
Well winter coming so you did it at the right time

Really sorry I can't remember
Normally it will bring up "Service" indicator on the dash. If you try and clear this and it won't go away that can mean that your glow plugs need to be replaced. Afterwards it should go away once cleared again.
Dear friend thank you for video.
Thank you for your comment means a lot so thank you
When it tightens run it back a turn...
I would stick to the recommended torque settings with glow plugs just incase
Why would you risk loosing compression binding it back a turn? Copper grease the threads if anything.
Possibly best to stick to torque settings
9mm deep socket I used 10mm is too big
Thank you

Thank you will pin this comment for others to see 👍
The DIY Car Channel helps do it your self guys like myself haha

Nice video, but in my opinion 30 £ is not expensive at all, I had a mondeo 1.8 tdci 2008, worst car ever, glow plugs cost me 100£ with changing them, + other expenses, car xost 6k repairs 3k within 2 years, tell everyone you know to don't buy ford mondeo ever, worthless and useless cars
That's expensive
Thank you for sharing your experience 👍
