Glow Plugs



Contrary to popular belief, it IS possible to replace all 6 glow plugs without removing the fuel pump. You need to purchase a SHORT combination wrench to fit the glow plugs, remove the rear timing belt cover and go in through the rear timing belt to get glow plug #6. The hardest part about this job was reattaching the glow plug wire for #6. I needed a deep offset wrench like the ones at right. Craftsman makes them, but I used a Hazet.

Please clean off the electrical contacts while you are doing this job. I use Wurth Contact OL

Replace any missing insulation on the copper strip with heat shrink tubing.
