Hi Guys,
I’m about to dive in and attempt to replace my glow plugs. The 2004 van has 230,000 miles on it, and based on the service records I have (I’m the third owner) it’s not clear when, if ever, any of the glow plugs were replaced. Currently I only have ONE functional glow plug, so cold starts are especially difficult.
I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a Eugene based shop, in case things go sideways and I find myself in over my head. If someone knows a shop that would be capable / experienced in handling a glow plug that shears off in the head, that would be especially reassuring information to have in hand. Especially if they could deal with a sheared GP without removing the head.
Thanks to all,
Abe
