Im a mobile mechanic in Australia, just got a job come in for glow plugs on a Peugeot figured id have a look at how shit it looks, you swore a lot less then i will. Thanks for the content you’ve gained a subscriber

[@petercodrington3558]

Thanks again for sharing. I've learnt more from you than any other mechanic online. I got the exact engine in a C4 Picasso.

U don't realise Glow plugs need changed until temperature outside goes down to around zero Celsius and ur car starts in the morning like a 20 year old tractor :) happened to me, 1st thought battery is bad, tested battery, battery apart from being a bit discharged due to only doing short trips it had almost 100% of the original cold cranking amps, fancy tester from a garage, then started doing more internet digging and realised Glow plugs needed changed, changed them myself, 3 were dead out of total of 4, good thing since they are also involved in DPF regen, saved couple of 100s of euros by doing it myself, did my due diligence ... applied penetrant oil 3 days in a row, warmed up the engine before attempting the removal and also was careful not to apply too much torque not to snap them, Kia Optima 2017 1.7 CRDI, car starts like a champ now plus at cold starts I don't get the pungent smell of unburnt diesel I was getting before changing the glow plugs

Interesting as usual. I have a 2014 2008 petrol pathfinder model. I take it that. When the battery is disconnected the Radio/Sat Nav code. Does not need to be re entered. (as was required) way back when. 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

Always a good feeling when glow plugs come out easily 👌🏻

[@ORileysAutos]

Definitely!

Splendid tutorial,thanks.

The older 1.6 hdis don't need the glow plugs, we have two 1.6 hdis with dead glow plugs and last December saw temps of -11c and both cars still started without issues, they don't even need them for dpf regen either.

When do the glow plugs need changing have a c3 Picasso with the same engine. Have you got a video on cleaning egr valve and pcv valve on this engine? Thanks

[@gellos32]

Doing this all one hand. Well done 👍

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks 👍

[@salimmetin]

is it necessary to replace the glowplugs on 2017 1.6 bluehdi? In my old 2.0 tdci (2.0 hdi) it was defect, but I never changed and it started well and did not have any issues.

[@andymurphy24]

Great videos , got the 3008 same engine ta buddy

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks 👍

How often they need to be changed? Any symptoms are they gone?

[@johndutton2895]

Jobs a goodun 👍

When installing new glow plugs either add nothing to the threads or ceramic paste, copper grease it's not good for glow plugs, ceramic paste is what u need, either that or nothing, glow plugs get to 1300 Deg Celsius when activated, ceramic paste it's the only anti seize meant to resist such high temps, copper grease is bad for 2 reasons, it will not resist such high temps it will cook plus it contains copper aka metal, one of reasons u would want to put anti seize is to prevent galvanic corrosion that happens between 2 dissimilar metals, glow plug is steel and engine head is aluminium, now u add 3rd metal ...not good idea, at least 2 manufacturers sell ceramic paste, Liqui Moly and BluePrint, it comes in tooth paste like tubs, Liqui Moly has one product meant specifically for glow plugs but they also sell a generic ceramic paste product, I reckon they work the same, I say buy the cheapest doesn't have to say glow plugs on the tub

[@ORileysAutos]

NGK recommend no Lube. It also alters the NM

[@MarianA-vu8tb]

When I replaced my glow plugs I couldn't be bothered to buy ceramic paste, did a dry install, but for people with OCD that wanna go to the extra mile they can do that using ceramic paste, it's an anti seize not a lube, it will change the Newton meter number by such a small percentage that will not matter in greater scheme of things

[@bazmeredith]

One of the reasons a lot of dpfs block up is a glow plug failure

[@ORileysAutos]

Some Karens would disagree mate

[@bazmeredith]

@@ORileysAutos people that don't know will never learn... we're different league 🤙🏻

[@MarianA-vu8tb]

Correct, unfortunately there's plenty people thinking otherwise, glow plugs not working will affect negatively the DPF regen three fold, 1. ECU commanded regen will fail due to glow plugs not working, 2. for the duration of the engine going from cold start to operating temperature dead glow plugs will increase carbon deposits to DPF, EGR, EGR cooler, intake manifold and throttle body, diesel is not combusting at low temps, unburnt diesel = carbon deposits, 3. badly carboned up EGR increases chances of EGR getting stuck on open and that also prevents DPF regen to happen (during DPF regen EGR has to close fully); now imagine u are someone that has diesel car and only doing short trips, that means more than 50% of the time the car is being driven will be with engine being at sub-operating temperature, that's a disaster ... modern diesel engine cars barely work when all sub-systems work a 100%, u need the slightest thing to fail and all goes to sheet, best image I could think of to depict modern diesel engine cars is thinking of a bus that is hanging from the edge of a cliff with more than half of the bus sticking out and u only need a fly to land to the side sticking out and bus goes off the cliff :)
