THIS ALMOST ENDED IN DISASTER!! BUT WE DON'T GIVE UP. GLOW PLUGS WHAT COULD GO WRONG????

[@vinegarjoe9706]

Well done, Baz. Patience paid off. Good to see. Thanks again.

[@danielgripton473]

My week realised I don’t know enough, so investing learning more. Appreciate the tips

[@BenSchifano]

Had a same scenario with a transit. 2 stuck plugs... 2 hours later they came out. Patience and persistence and penetrative spray.

[@barryjones5194]

Nothing phases you Baz wished I lived closer to your garage you would be definitely looking after our car

[@dougthebiff]

Barry I watch most of your stuff I'm only up the road. I love the passion you have for your work. Cleaning the engine when finished 👌🏻. It's the little touches that's refreshing because you care. Keep em coming 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Great job, dreading doing my 2008 Fiat Ducato glow plugs🤣😫

[@oliverlanchester2632]

It only went one way due to experience, skill and determination. Well done

[@ifoundmytv]

"customer has even brought me mince pies" and that ladies and gentlemen is the reason he spent over and hour getting the plugs out 😅 bit of pastry bribery goes far in my workshop as well 😅

[@bazmeredith]

@@ifoundmytv the garage could have fallen down around me I weren't stopping untill that plug was out 😂😂😂

Such a professional extraction with the included use of a vice grips, I bet there are dentists watching and taking notes! 👍

[@dbautowerkz]

I have one of those shite weeks mate nothing but shite jobs and then there’s always something goes wrong 😂 I bought stubby spline sockets this week absolute gold for me them! What I tend to do on glow plugs i use Deblock freeze spray on the top of the glow plug for 12 seconds. Then leave it for 10/15 seconds and they have always come out no problem touch wood 😂 Thanks Derek

[@stephenreed1080]

Good job mate. My friday consistent of doing my first 1.0 ecoboost wet belt. Such a poor design compared to the 1.2 PSA one.

[@paulp96275]

Baz brilliant patience pays off I don’t know wether I would have that but well done lad 👍🤔

[@russellpage1745]

Baz, get the engine right up to operating temperature before removing glow plugs, they will come out much easier. Thermal expansion of aluminium is about 3 X that of steel. Same with injectors.

[@garywinterbottom6073]

Had an pld 1.7td not direct injection isuzu astra k reg 92 absolutely brilliant little engine 7k oil n filters and it was great 😅

[@martinthompson54]

Hi baz, great job and great patience , from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

Terrible week! Trying to replace two suspension bushes on my Freelander. Drive shaft frozen into the hub, now having to replace the entire hub, bearing etc in one lump.

Great stuff Baz, I've not broken one - YET!.

[@davidmehlhorn726]

The glow plugs in my old car had 200,000 miles on them when I went to replace them. Soaked them in WD40 penetrant for an hour after the car had been for a run. My thinking was the heat of the block would expand the ports where the glow plugs went in which would allow the WD40 to soak down the threads. Well three came out very easy but the last one, well it was like your one, all tight and squeaking. I was sure I’d snap it but some patience and working it back and forth and it eventually came out. Result! Just bought myself a new scan tool, a Top Don Artiag 800 Bluetooth. Looking forward to using it. Have a great weekend a Baz. David in Dublin, Ireland.

[@garyparker5012]

Stupidly busy week here in sunny norfolk But I had success today with 5 glow plugs coming out really easily on a Ford ranger using a 1/4 drive 🤟🏻

[@steveng5503]

You’ll need a nice mug of TEA with them pies Baz… what time does BEN do the rounds with the trolley? 🤣 Well done mate. Not a mention fun glow plugs like. Unless been done before properly. I always test the electrical resistance of each plug. The highest resistance ones or the open circuit ones that’s failed are the hardest to remove. My obs. 👍🏻

[@wayneschenk5512]

Great result.

[@briankeegan8321]

Top mechanic Baz. Love ur videos

Good job baz have a good weekend

[@toeknee6588]

If its tight its right : ) had sweaty palms here, I might of changed 3 then took it for a good run to get it hot then tried again. Always on a Friday!

[@vancejones4804]

I'm going to do them on my kia... But they are all under the windscreen....

[@Manxlad]

My friday win was a RR wheel bearing.. Turns out the pin for the rear drum shoes had come out and was banging on the hub 😂

[@derekgb3780]

I'm only a DIYer - I've been told they are easier to remove on a hot engine - any truth?

[@anthony342]

makes sense mate

[@bazmeredith]

It can be a myth, I've had greater success with a cold engine, when hot both components ie cylinder head and glow plug heat up together

[@ChuckTurtle1]

Realistically youd want the head to heat up and expand and the glow plug to stay cold which isnt really possible. I always do cold.

[@simontist]

Aluminium expands more than steel so they "should" loosen a bit. Full operating temperature best. Also the engineers say to use a torque wrench when loosening them, look up the max torque limit for loosening (e.g. often it's about 3x the installation torque). EDIT: oh and if any are stuck, supposedly the best thing is to put some oil in there and drive the car as usual for a week, it'll work its way in. In theory. Then try loosening again

[@DanielRicardoGomesMarquesFreix]

Hello Baz, love your videos! Can U give your opinion about BGA timing kits? I have a BMW M43 engine, BGA has a good set of timing kit, BUT I heard they just don't last and break... What do you think? Cheers!

[@bazmeredith]

@@DanielRicardoGomesMarquesFreix I've used them for many years and never had any problems buddy.

[@DanielRicardoGomesMarquesFreix]

@@bazmeredith Thanks! Just ordered. Stay handsome! 🙂

[@franswijnands4022]

I have a Renault Megane 1.5, the glow plugs are 4 volts, with twelve volts they will still be damaged

[@WooRSte]

Not the greatest week. One time I decided to take my car into a garage as opposed to myself doing the work, they absolutely cover my steering wheel in scratches and then deny all responsibility 😩

[@beekeeperkev]

Baz have you ever tried the pickler machine on glow plugs yo warm them

[@bazmeredith]

@@beekeeperkev it's not the sort of thing you can do with the heat induction tool buddy

[@cliffperry8470]

Tools yes please tell me what the tool you used to program modules in on the vehicles ….. euro tab 3 yes’s ok but don’t add anything over the cost of £1500 . If you could please .

[@mike-s8n8y]

I watched your video backwards , it made more sense to me 🤓

[@Monaco-23]

Glow plugs, try warming the engine up first ?

[@ChrisJohnson-gp9vt]

been a shite weeek lol electrical gremlins and finding haynes n autodata having wrong info , waiting on new login for all data as an extra help for info🤣🤣

[@howardbatty254]

Wtf, deflating the tyres to gain a couple of inches ? Never had to do that in 40 years of spannering.

Baz you need to stop doing the job the right way the comment section on this channel is far too nice and not a KZbin mechanic in sight 😂
