Hi there. Thank you very much! They can affect it as they create a fault code or glow plug light on wich needs to be off to do a dpf. All the time engine light of fault is in there the car will think somthing ain't right. So I would recommend replacing bud
I was thinking of changing the glow plugs more as preventive maintenance as I don't have any fault codes but I'm really scared of the tip falling down. Is there anyway I can check if they are working when intended for example when starting the engine or when the dpf is regenerating ?
Yes it can happen. Usually depending on how the car has been used. If its a car that idle a lot of never goes on motorway then there is a higher chance of build up of carbon. Also depends if the correct oil has been used. First and easiest way of checking is by using diagnostic tool and doing a full scan on the system. Then you got a manual check by continuity test on each glow plug. Or obviously the bad starting in the morning or on a cold day.
Again a great video. Mate got a question. As diesel we have to take our cars on highway just to clean the engine once a month or so. Can we drive on cruise control or do we need to drive without also how long or any time frame plz.
Thank you very much bud! Yes I definitely recommend doing it. 👌 I wouldn't use cruise control. I would put it in probably 4th gear or maybe 5th depending on the speed you doing. Recommend to be doing around 3k RPM for around 25-30 min. I usually use a dpf cleaner treatment in the fuel tank as well
Hi there! Thank you very much! Yes it's been hard work but getting there 😀 Been very busy recently and had Covid. But now getting back in to it. Hope you are well!
@@AlexTheGrumpyOne Glad your okay. I’m stuck in quarantine because my mother has covid. But I’m feeling fine because I’m immune now. But my mother strangely wasn’t. Don’t overwork yourself and if you need to, take a break because I know the after effects of covid, they will bother you.
@@AlexTheGrumpyOne thank you, pardon me for my late response. I hope you stay safe and well too! She is getting better day by day and I’m glad. Good luck to you too 😀
18Nm is nothing ive had tighter jam jar lids …. Don’t overdo it, you might wanna use a torque wrench to remove them as well, the shear torque is around 35-40 Nm, don’t go at it like a bull at a gate, if it starts to shriek as it’s coming out screw it back in a bit then try again just like you’re rethreading it, if it gets really tight spray more release agent on it leave it for a while then come back to it, patience is key, if you have one of the plugs with a built in pressure sensor it’s a 12mm socket for removal and the cap is a ba**tard to get off, you’ll need special long pliers that will compress the two securing clips at the end of it before it will come off ( don’t break the cap) !!
Great guide mate, need to change mine.
Do you know if they play a part in the cars dpf system. I.e if ones thrown a code, car won't regen the dpf?

@@AlexTheGrumpyOne cheers mate, no light on dash as of yet but it came up on diagnostic machine so I'll get it changed. Keep up the content 👍
Sweet! OK bud keep me posted!
Thank you
@@kashv2500mines saying replace circuit 1 glow plug it’s not doing a dpf regen did this solve it
What do you do if you find you do have high carbon build up and cannot get the plug(s) out? Is it an engine out job?
Great stuff thanks. Did I see an Le Velo over your shoulder. I got one too.
Haha yep! 😀
It still use them in drive for dpf clean

Alex, is it worth replacing after to a remap to help keep the engine good?
My personal opinion is if there is no Fault codes and engine starts fine then I wouldn't risk it for now bud. As it can end up being a nightmare...
brill video, concise ☝thanks for posting
Thank you 😀

Thank you. Appreciate it. Yes, covid isn't fun at all. I hope she gets better soon! And that you don't catch it as well.
Good luck and stay safe

2:01 its controlled burn, not an explosion or a bang..
18NM when you tourq the plugs up, do not tighten to 80NM like I did and snapped the plug
Very good
Thank you
