So I been putting off doing my glow plugs cause of all the horror stories of getting stripped out or breaking of in the head. Well it hit close to 60 degrees in Michigan yesterday so I figured I'd give it a shot. I first sprayed pb blaster than went for a drive to heat her up. All gp's came out pretty easy except for the second one from the front of the engine. Had to do the back and forth thing with the ratchet about 30 times with more pb blaster than it came out easy. I also changed out the gp module. My reason for doing the change is cause of hard starts when its real cold out and my check engine light would come on.
Got it all done in a couple hours and no more check engine light and seems the gp light goes out quicker than normal. I used Bosch gp's from Europarts along with there gp module. Heres a pic of the old ones. Dont know if they are the stock ones which would have 225k miles on them or not.
Also, I did not torque them to spec cause I dont own the tool. I only have the huge inch pd one. I just tightened them pretty snug with anti sieze. How important is it to torque them properly?
