reminder... slow and steady using a deep 8 mm socket. Slowly loosening and tightening back a fourth....
I had a #3 glow plug fault so I changed all 3 on the right bank... I will do the 3 on the left back next month.
111 K miles on the engine... the #1 looked fairly new previous owner changed it.
step one remove the air filter... loosen hose clamp and remove to plugs.... just snaps on the rubber mounts...
step 2 remove heat sheild .... 6 torxs heads 1/4 turn last 2 in the back clip in...
step 3 remove intake hose to turbo... loosen hose clamp and you can leave air flow sensor connected and move aside...
step 4 remove oil fill filler neck... unbolt and turn 90 degs.
then remove sheild... no bolts... clips on.. wires are clipped on the rear....
step 5 then remove the rubber insulation... no bolts ... just snug fitted....
here are the glow plugs to the right of the fuel rail...
here you see the plug is right under the plier tip... using the pliers pull the small grey plugs... sorta like a spark plug connection...
clean the port thoroughly before you attempt removal!! lots of grit accumulates here... #3 shown here
number #1 shown here... remove little gadget to access...
I also replaced my controller.... shown here bolted to the front on the engine...
after completion disconnect battery to clear the check engine light!
cylinders--- arrow points to the front of the grill for reference...
