great clip! had a hunch, but this video confirms it, that same glow plug is also reading about 460 ohm in my car, I'm replacing all 4 gp's. 380k km i guess is ok
Just done this test on my 5 cylinder Volvo found a bad plug , It missed on cold starts and a puff of smoke , but nothing when warmed up cheers fella ....
Hi, everyone else uses ohms to test glow plugs. Are you sure your way is OK? I tried your way and got these reading...engine off.. 6.30 0.14 12.44 10.04 then after half an hour parked 6.07 0.10 12.29 7.08 Any issues? Thanks
Thank you so much. All of my glowplugs were on 12.6 volts but I stil get a weird start up and a blue puff of smoke. It keeps smoking a bit until it warms up. What could be the problem?
Great video which showed all steps, great for a novice such as myself attempting to diagnose glow plug issues, thanks 🙏
Short and to the point! Thank you!
Very helpful my friend! Thank you for the videos! I have a 2002 VW jetta TDI with 235,000 miles on it, so thank you for teaching me something!
you are welcome, my pleasure

Yup to the point. Great video
If voltmeter shows 0 also is glow plug bad ?
Very clear. Thank you.

did you checked glow plug wires? could also be injector problem, injectors wires...
So, my glow plugs come in at 12.9v but I’m still getting a glow plug code? P0380??
I think a bad harness could cause that
@@jessed9461 damn. well hopefully it isnt too hard to do lol
Thanks, it was very helpful!
Thanks! Well done!
great help mate cheers
Very Good many thanks
great video...how can you find what engine you have? ALH? and how do you test the glow plug harness?
I have the 2005 Golf with the BEW TDI 1.9. Do you know if the procedure will be similar?
Thank You!
you are welcome
Thank you
I love this kind of heartwarming helpful videos thanks a lot ❤️

Not sure this is correct I can put the negative lead on any part of the engine and get 12.47 volts. All you are doing is using it as a ground
Even 2x speed seems slow
Don't anyone talk proper English anymore..
Thank you !
