2.0 TDI VW Scirocco Glow Plugs Replacement. How and when you should replace your glow plugs.

Hello guys!
#AlexTheGrumpyOne is here with another video for you.
This is a video on how to replace the glow plugs on the 2.0 TDI engine and many other diesel engines. It is important to make sure that you are being careful and using the penetrant spray to avoid snapping the glow plug. Please make sure that you plug the fuel pipes back on and make sure that there are no leaks afterwards!
Usually it is recommended to change glow plugs at around 100k Service. If not, when you get a fault code or a starting issue on a cold morning.
You can get codes such as:
P0671 Cylinder 1 glow plug circuit
P0672 Cylinder 2 glow plug circuit
P0673 Cylinder 3 glow plug circuit
P0674 Cylinder 4 glow plug circuit
Here is the link for the penetration spray that I have used in this video:

[@astroandamethystt]

Hey there! I see you’ve improved very much. I’m very glad by that! How’s things been going? And I hope things will continue going well to you.

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

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!

[@astroandamethystt]

@@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. 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

[@astroandamethystt]

@@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 😀

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?

[@kashv2500]

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]

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

[@kashv2500]

@@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 👍

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

Sweet! OK bud keep me posted! Thank you

[@guilhermeg345]

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 ?

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

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.

[@nemopercula5767]

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.

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

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

[@murdaflip]

Alex, is it worth replacing after to a remap to help keep the engine good?

[@AlexTheGrumpyOne]

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...

[@MrSpeedkg]

It still use them in drive for dpf clean

[@thestellaman-oq9mv]
