How to change glowplugs on ZX 1.9D ??

Post by pief »

How do you change glowplugs on this vehicle ??
i cannot get a spanner or a socket on the plugs without dismantling the whole lot. Is there a trick or is this not a diy job ??

This is definately a 1.9d and not a Turbo D??
If just a 1.9D then its a fairly easy job.
You need to remove the 8mm headed nut on each glow plug using an 8mm spanner or 8mm socket then pull the wiring out of the way.
The Glowplugs are removed using a 12mm DEEP socket, apart from the one behind the injector pump on which you use a 12mm spanner.
Sometimes it may be necessary to either bend (carefully), or remove the Injector pipes in order to gain access to the Glowplugs.
Turbo diesels (especially with the Bosch pump are far more difficult!!!
