How easy or hard
is it to change the glow plugs on my vec cdti (150) any tips welcome thanks fellas
From what i have read the 150 is easy it's 120 like mine which is a pig.Originally Posted by chrisvectra
Look easy buddy... My long sockets should get them out...
Reason we need to change these BTW is Chris is getting a spanner in the morning on a cold start and the code is Glow plug general fault..
just heard horror storys about snapping them in the head gulp!!!
We will spray plus gas around them first mate and see how they feel.. Reckon they will be OK..
Also - aparently its better to do on a warm engine as the metal is hot
issues are when people try to change them on a cold engine aparently

Deffo need a 9mm deep socket... WD40 and a warm engine block... I had the same glow plug fault as you and found 1 plug measured open cct.. so I changed them all for good measure... Once fully undone each of my plugs were quite stiff to extract and I dropped one down the back of the engine when it popped out... lol
