deep socket for the plugs and you have to remove the loom/cover support to gain acsess to the cambelt end plug
not to bad a job though aslong as they come out ok
RE: Glowplug change - declantg - 11-03-2013
So not overly difficult then? think i have a deep socket set...
RE: Glowplug change - DeeTurbo - 11-03-2013
Yeah it's not too bad a job to do. It says in the Haynes manual to put copper slip on the new plugs threads don't do that as copper between ally and steel isn't a good combo.

Warm the car up first before you go to take them out.

i would think he is saying this as aluminium head would expand more that the steel plugs making them maybe looser to undo!
RE: Glowplug change - Piggy - 12-03-2013
Yeah I know...cant see it making all that much difference...I' d take a tough turn over 3rd degree burns

Much less chance of snapping them off in the head if theyre warm too.
RE: Glowplug change - andywhy - 12-03-2013
I always did it from warm on my XLdt, much easier. Just let it sit 20 mins to cool off a bit.
RE: Glowplug change - ConorTRG - 12-03-2013
The idea is that you'll have less chance of ringing them.
