I need to replace the glow plugs on a 2003 / 612 engine with around 160k miles. No idea if they are the original GP or not.
Couple questions.
---- Is it really a necessity and worth the time to remove the intake? And if so, do I just need to unbolt and lay to the side enough to do the GP? I'm not interested or concerned with changing the intake to the 647 for this particular van.
---- Secondly, I've seen it can be done without intake removal with the right extension and wobbly. Can someone verify that, and if so, a picture of what I need would be great.
---- And lastly, is there a simple way to check the glow plugs to see if they are good or bad prior to attempting to remove them? This would be wonderful if I could avoid any unnecessary gambles on breaking GP.
