Easy removal of glowplugs? - Euroshopper - 3:rd-Nov-2020 One of my glow plugs is defect, so they need to be changed. I have a A13DTE engine and there is a step by step guide here on how to change them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onMmIltMokQ&t=637s However this is quit intricate process by removing turbo and DSP, one or two comments on this video claims that all glow plugs can be removed by using a glow plug removal socket set and only removing the oil feeder and heatshield. Like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282975441040 Have someone done this before and can confirm this is possible? Would be way easier to just buy such a set and remove them without to much trouble. Cheers! RE: Easy removal of glowplugs? - eatmybogbrush - 13:th-Nov-2020 Looking at the video you only need a normal deep 10mm socket which is what I used on my Astra H 1.9, plugs look the same and I had no trouble, don't tighten them like the idiot on that video way too tight, they only need to be done gently, really to a specified torque. I used a £5.72 Draper expert Hitorq 10mm deep socket here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Draper-Expert-10mm-3-8-Square-Drive-Hi-Torq-6-Point-Deep-Impact-Socket-06883/333779872788?epid=1323102812&hash=item4db6d4ac14:g:Bc0AAOSwm1NfpTZj |
