A torque wrench IS required to remove the glow plugs as this excellent video shows: 3:15 This is because the glow plugs are quite weak and will simply snap off if they are very tight (Corroded in) and you try too hard... If you just try to force them loose you will snap them clean off and your engine will be ruined!...If the plugs resist the maximum 16 Nm torque....STOP!!!. ..You should then soak the plugs in penetrating type oil overnight and then run the engine to full temperature before attempting another removal using the torque wrench
@@narrrold Not if the wrench has a reverse turn capability. many good quality ones can tighten (or loosen anti-clockwise) and still give the torque value or signal the torque limit.
Hi guys,need a piece of advice I you could.Need to change the glowing plugs but there are different types and most importantly length types. How do I know what length do I need without removing old one and measuring it?

WE LOVE B7! BUT I have the north American version but is the engine the same? or different? I have a 2.5L Thank you for uploading this videos :) cheers
Why would you use a torque wrench set to the supposed tighten up setting to undo the plugs ?, clearly on the first plug, the wrench clicked on its torque limit and you had to exceed this point to undo the plug anyway so how is that different to just undoing with a normal socket wrench with careful pressure having first applied some WD40? They have to come out anyway.
Thank you for your comment. We understand that mistakes were made during the replacement, and in the future, we will try not to allow this to happen again. AUTODOC

We are sure that your comment will be useful for many of our viewers.
I was always taught to never remove anything with a torque wrench as it will put the calibration out of whack

I'm grateful for your comment before I tried to tackle this job as a novice on my A3. Thank you ❤

Thanks for the B7 videos!
Are you guys planning on doing an oil pan anytime soon? Asking for a friend 👀 lol
Hi mate, is it better to remove glow plugs with a hot, cold or warm engine ? thanks in advance
It is better to remove glow plugs on a cold engine.
Lovely video ☺️

My car is VW Passat b7 2011,2.0 tdi 103 kw
After run how much kilometre we need to replace glow plugs?? I have b7 passat
I noticed some of the caps are broken on my glow plugs. Do I have to replace whole harness? They work but saw when I did other work.
It is necessary to replace the wiring of the glow plugs; if the caps are broken, problems may arise when starting the car in sub-zero weather.
THANKS 👍😊
How long are the long nose pliers please? 11 inches / 0.28m / 28cm?

Why do you put ceramic grease on the body of glow plug, but dont on the threads of glow plug?
Thank you for the valuable clarification, for our viewers it will be very useful information.
Thought the same. Zero sense.
where is the fuel filter in a passat cc 3.6? from 2010 year model
Is the Electrical Spray and Brake cleaner same thing? 😅
These are two different concepts, each purifier has a different systems maintenance group.

Why don't you clean the shaft first with a reamer?
Thanks for the clarification, we will take that into account in the next videos.
