Hi in lots of engines unfortunately heater plugs can suffer as people don't check them regularly enough or they're too heavy handed trying to take them off in this video we show you how to remove seized heater plugs with no specialist tools there's lots of ways of doing this but this way does work sometimes you might want to warm the engine up it can help in certain cases but not necessarily all the time as long as you take your time with it you should be ok but unfortunately heater plugs do snap more than often if it's going to snap it's going to there is nothing you can do about it
If you take your time even if it takes you an hour it is better than it snapping as you need specialist tools when it snaps and can cause you lots of problems and take you a long time to remove in certain circumstances

Why not just give your doggy a squeaky toy then ?

What are you talking about ???
@@Arounadabout the dog will destroy a squeaky toy in 30 seconds flat
I did one like this - took me an hour - relief!
The thread keeps spinning for me.. how do you overcome that? 🤔
Nice one bud. What was the Simpson’s to make you remove the glow plugs please.
I was just doing it service and I tester heater plugs just as a matter of course and 3 of them were bad we haven't had the weather or should I say we haven't had cold enough weather to affect it starting but we are getting into the winter so just as well changing them now
May I pick your brains please bud? I’ve have a mk 6 transit tourneo, a few months now. It has 18 inch ally wheels. Just passed mot np. The thing is at around 40-45 mph there’s a wobble worse on acceleration. As mot was ok bearings etc must be ok. New tyres fitted so balancing should be ok? Do you think it’s possible the wheels are u.s o front wheel drive. Thanks mate for your thoughts in advance.
@@paulelliott2861 hi mate if the problem only happens when you put the big wheels on it can really only be a problem with the wheels either they're not fitted correctly and what I mean by that is some wheels have an inner ring that sits on the hub to centre it properly make sure you have that ring if not one of the wheels could be badly warped make sure there's no welding or any marks on them this could also throw it out
bodgit and leggit garage thanks buddy there bud came with these wheels . Once I got it home my wife said” them tyres don’t look right “ I took it to a tyre place and yes indeed they where incorrect. They where car tyres. Had them replaced. I did not see any rings on them but there offside front has a large number off balance weights on it. I have a set of standard wheels and tyres. So will change over. Thanks bud.
What was wrong you couldn't have applied a drop of 3 in 1 oil and left it for 5 mins?
My damn glow plug is just spinning round and round. And it wont tighten back the other way. Dann it.
not good mate
@@bodgitandleggitgarage any idea what it might be? Threads knackered maybe. Read somewhere to give it a small whack of a hammer and try again. But if I bust the engine threads I'm in trouble. Maybe pulling the bottom up as I unscrew? Have left it soaking in wd40 but not that hopeful.
@@michaelfreeman7381 could be loads of reasons mate could be threads a gun cross threaded it could be snapped internally there's more than one reason impossible to know unless I see it but from the sounds of it however you look about it's going to be a nightmare to get out possibly looking at redrilling it and re tapping it it's a big job the tools you need to do this are very expensive if you will be cheaper paying someone to do this
@@bodgitandleggitgarage I'll just try a few more tricks then it's time to get rid I think. The thing was really over tightened, should've just left it in in hindsight.
I did this job on my Merc C250 - doused the plugs in WD40 went for a good drive - hot engine - more WD40 get a little movement - back and forth very gingerly - ended up with Mole Grips on one - pull and turn at same time - and eventually they came out. One was a beggar though and it took me a couple hours of the above to get it out. Slow and steady wins this game..Brill vid!
Just a suggestion Is it not worth spraying some WD40 when you have taking it part way out so when you are turning it back and forth into the block it will lubricate the thread
I would or penetration spray
To at least stop the squeaking....
You'd feel as ...well I tried my best ...
Come on WD40. JEEEZ
We get engine fully warm & up to running temp. adding oil in glow plug well before starting. Always use Never-seize or equivalent on threads of new plugs makes all the difference !
Great video & good advise as always.
Thats how I do them too. I rarely get one stuck this was. If I do have a tight one I soak it down with WD40 overnight and run it up to temp the following day. I repeat this until its out.
I always get engine hot as possible then put a wet rag where poss on glow plug to cool it down, (heat expands, cold shrinks) that usually get buggers out ! Like in vid ,always go back and forth on any tight thread ,will save agro later, also crank engine over without plugs in to blow all crap out of hole and ALLWAYS put copper grease on thread when replacing !
👍
My god I've not been this tense since Delilah gave Samson a hair cut! 🤣😂
hahahahahahahahahaha
This method is close to huge problems without spray.
But respect to yuo for feel that moment..
My 1.8 tdci used to start fine in -4 C with faulty glow plugs! If they had started making those noises taking them out I would have just left them. Good stuff mate
lol thanks mate
I know you said you didn't use it, but would wd40 have helped get it out? Or would it have ruined the sound effects and possibly led to you going full pelt on the plug and possibly snapping it?
I would have put some spray oil in there. recently rebuilt an alternator and letting spray oil soak into the bearing pressed in edges made removing the bearings a breeze.
Looking forward to no 4 :) Keep up mate!
@@armunro alternator bearings and heater plugs two completely different things heater plugs gummed up with carbon and getting hot and cold very hot and cold on numerous occasions is completely different to Bearings inside an alternator I'm telling you WD40 in this case would have done nothing
What about doinf it with the engine hot since the materials have different coefficients of expansion.
Was thinking a bit of oil would help cut/clean the thread as you are working it loose. Heat helps; especially on rusted up exhaust bolts. So maybe a hot engine would help? btw what happen with no 4; am intreaged to know :)
@@rimmersbryggeri heat expands metal and it would have been more difficult.
*I snapped all four plugs got upset then slept with my cousin annabel*
Always a nailbiter... having to remove stuck plugs. =(
I'm doing this now, and 2 out of 4 are seized worse than the one you are showing here.
Literally just sat at my bench for a bit to get out of the rain for a break.
Mine are only turning slightly, but by doing what you did I managed to get one free but it took well over an hour and a half to fully undo.
Using a little 1/4" ratchet in the hope that it's short enough for me not to put too much force on it.
Can see what you mean about WD40 being very little use here. No way can it get down to that coked up shaft.
Don't know how you quote for this kind of work mate, as this is easily going to take me all day.
There’s certain spray that can penetrate and help with the extraction. One of them I use was Wurth Black magic ( rest remover) which penetrates bit by bit and helps with squeaky dry noise . I also always use grease for putting them back in. Never had problems removing them since. So not sure why OE don’t do the same.. balls of shit
PB Blaster penetrating fluid does exactly that, it has a very microscopic makeup that allows it to capillary action down a thread. The lubricating properties eliminates rust, corrosion, sticking, and squeaking problems so it's a win win using this stuff on glowplugs.
Another great video Leon,thanks for sharing.I still spray WD on them even though we know it doesn't get down in but at the time it just makes you feel better 😀😀
Yes mate it's certainly feels better but doesn't do anything hahaha
I am so glad I don’t have to work on diesel engines. Great job mate. Cheers 👍👍😁
Thanks mate
I get the engine red hot then soak them with wd 40. Then settle down for a few hours of fun and giggles
That's right, hot engine, I use a tin of pipe freeze from plumbing shop on the glow plug, well not a tin but enough just to cool it a couple of thou. If you get one that doesn't shift.
hi do you have a video of snapped glow plugs. basically what happened is the nut has just spun so does that mean it’s snapped
Snapped one before removing them on my Vivaro ...hardly and pressure used they were like chocolate! When I’ve done them since i use a t bar instead of a ratchet as seems to keep the force on centrally
My experience mate if they're going to snap there's nothing you can do about it they're just going to snap there is a feel once you get the feel does take a bit of time in practice to get the feel
@@bodgitandleggitgarage The sickening feeling of one breaking burns into your brain, next time you know when you getting close to breaking another, lol.
They weren't put in with ceramic greece 😂
WD40 has got to make that job easier?
The problem is when people over tighten them and don't put grease on them
Not really mate it comes down to a lot more than that the two different metals react rust carbon build-up heat soaking the list goes on and on
Lovely. These are very well experienced hands .
How much experienced is it with motor vehicles?
Bless me with tips, going to remove glow plugs from 1.4 TDCI Ford , 10 years 80000 miles on it.
I wish I’d found your video before attempting to my glow plugs! Sound advice and really helpful, your videos are very good I will be looking for your advice on other projects for sure! Thanks again 👍👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Sure am glad I found your video before I jumped in to my first glow plug job...I'm a diesel noob with a new to me `08 Jeep with the 3.0 Mercedes OM642 and 278 000 kms on the odometer. It's cylinder 6 up by the firewall with junk overhead. I'll be working in the driveway in January in Canada, not a great time to "learn to do by doing". Thanks for taking me to school!
Best of luck with it mate I'm glad my video Help that's what it's all about
I used to have the same environmental issues in Denmark. I ended up buying an old army tent from a surplus store and erected this over the front of my car (an old mercedes c250) It was great as you were out of the weather and could set up lights and a heater and work in relative comfort
Remember doing these on my old 1.7dti astra van on 180k. Was a happy man when they all came out lol
Wow you got all four out on a 1.7 Astra you need to give yourself lots of pets on the back there mate lol
When I did them on my car I snapped one of the tips off which I never got out and managed to get the other 3 out. Trouble I had was I got them to the end of the thread but they were not coming out no matter what I tried, so I ended up spraying wd40 down the holes and tightened them back up ‘cause it started snowing, went back to try again a few days later, I cracked them off and they came out by hand, came out so easily I actually thought I’d snapped the first one
As long as its making noise, you're good. Its when the noise stops that they snap!
Lol very true mate
I did mine last year after I diagnosed only 2 were working, had that squeaking and didn't turn it back every turn and got to the end when it was off the threads n the tip snapped. Tried the second one but turned it back this time but couldn't for the life of me get it out it was that stuck in there with shit, squirted wd down there, tightened it back up to do another day 'cause it started snowing but once it was cracked off it came out by hand and pulled straight out like everything was brand new. It came out that easy I almost shit my pants thinking I'd snapped another so I did the same with the other 2 and it was the easiest job I've done on the car which totally beats trying to pull it with grips, prying it out, prying it whilst twisting it for an hour in the cold. Still need to get the tip out like but that's not the only thing on the list to fix
If carbon makes the plug slow, it is worth running a tank with diesel cleaner to get rid of the soot on the plugs
Wd40 ?
tell me how that would of help
Why not spray WD40 down there?
What honestly do you think it would have done
A good case for plus gas i think
Absolutely would help as plus gas is a dedicated penetrating oil and would find its way right down the root/crest clearance path inside the thread. Incidentally WD40 is not a penetrating oil as it is designed for removing water (W D = Water Displacement ) not creeping into assembled parts and freeing them off
All the experts tell you to warm the engine and use some sort of penetrating fluid both before and during the removal. I have no idea why you did neither. Were you just being tight? I'd also consider getting a smaller torque wrench which can be set to the low values required for these glow plugs.
Great video Leon, with the new one going in, would ad any copper paste tonthe threads?
Use always WD40 spray!
I'm going to be doing my om606 glow plugs soon, just plucking up the courage 😅 have been taking note, thank you.
Doing a full service on my car when weather is better, all filters, aux belt and cambelt and going check the plugs with my multimeter, if any need changing im dreading it 🤣 heard horror stories about plugs so sh#tting bricks 🤣 a few days before im going keep warming the engine up and spray wwd 40 in them each time because apparently that makes it easier , that nouse alone was making my ass twitch 🤣
its always like a little lottery win when one comes out in one piece and when they all come out you feel like the main man.
lol yes boom
Cos He IS THE MAN!
I missed the part where he said WHY he wasn’t using any penetration oil.
I put my son's 2.8Ltr diesel Toyota Ute into our local Auto Electrician to replace glow plugs. Frikkin' Moron snapped off two, Inside cylinders, "Not my fault" he says frikkin' arse ho! Dumb me, never again! Wish I'd given you the job. Well done mate!! I live in Maitland NSW OZtralia.
Does spraying penetrating oil on them a day on two before help? Great demo btw 👍
No, it doesn’t work unless you’re working it in and out like he was and spray it on before screwing it back in. That will carry a small bit in each time you reseat the plug, but it really doesn’t work. The new glow plugs need to be installed with anti-seize, even at the factory, to help alleviate this problem.
Always bring engine up to operating temperature first and soak plugs in liberal amount of penetration oil.
Ream bore, clean threads and seat before fitting new glow plug.
that can help but not 100% guaranteed
WTF didn't you follow up with WD and allow the thread dry was dangerous.
why not use lubrication thats what i do .....
Like I explained in the video it would have done absolutely nothing all it would have done it stop the noise it would not have penetrated the thick carbon there is videos on RUclips proving that the penetration oils don't work in this scenario
@@bodgitandleggitgarage NEXT ONE I GET IN I WILL TRY IT WITH & WITHOUT & WILL LET YOU KNOW ......?
@@johnconnolly3320 sorted it would stop the noise but it wouldn't penetrate the carbon
You would had thought a much better design to have a nut to secure the plugs on the outside
A short breaker bar is so much less annoying than having to keep clicking a ratchet back and forth.
I would still advise using WD40, or a mix of paraffin and lube oil. Give a good soaking when the heater plug starts to move and leave for an hour or so. Stripped threads or broken plugs will NOT bring a grin to your face.
Hi mate unfortunately in this case like I explained in the video it would not have done any good all it would have done it stop this weekend there was too much carbon build-up inside the fridge no amount of WD40 or any other penetration oil would have got through this there is plenty of videos on RUclips proving this even with serious heat it still cannot get through
@@bodgitandleggitgarage is this before you had your glow plug tool with low torque mate
Ever heard of lube!!!!If you added plus gas or the like the thread would be lubbed and it would keep the heat down in the thread.
Not cross threaded just needed lube
You obviously don't understand what happened. How would lube would have helped me in this situation. It would have stopped the noise it would not have penetrated the carbon build up.
There is plenty videos online proving that it would not have penetrated the carbon check them out before. For making comments
And as my heating up the engine being very hot made absolutely no difference.
Why not just put some kinda lube on it i was told brake fluid is the job
Thanks for the information. I have seen other videos where they use WD40. Why don't you use it? Can it cause problems?
Use some atf oil and aceton mix
All that would have done will stop the squeaking noise it wouldn't have penetrated the carbon build up up in the heater plugs yes it would have stopped the noise any oil would have stopped the noise but that wasn't the point of the video just because the noise stopped doesn't mean that they won't break
A little atf would go a long way on these
penetrating lube does work really well esp when you think you may break the glow plug, no brainer
Did I put lube on it? No, did I break it no boom sorted
@@bodgitandleggitgarage After doing the job myself, I agree with you. It's not so much the threads that are tight, it's the coked up shaft stopping it turning. I will admit that I am literally soaking them all the same, but it's more psychological I would say. Ha. Mine have been in for 17 years so no surprise I'm struggling.
I’d rather have my nuts slammed in a 65 Chevy door than hear that sound doing glow plugs. Awesome video.👍
This worked a treat for me on a 2004 Renault Master 2.5 dci. I needed long nose grips to retrieve the plug from situe as it would not just slide out. Fantastic job fantastic video. Thank you.
boom sorted glad to help you mate
I used to know a girl like that.
hahahah
sounds like my back!
wow hahaha
Another GoodUn. Thanks. Just about to attempt on a Bongo.
Good tip, always use ceramic grease on threads and lower body when putting a new plug in.
👍
And on injectors too. Yup works a treat
Squeal like a pig boy!
Hahahaha you've just put that back in my head now LOL
bodgit and leggit garage 😂😂
Louder!
That squeak from the plug sounds like the door opening to reveal the ghost of Jacob Marley!
lol
The whole premise of this method is dependent on the plug being able to turn slightly from the get-go. In 99% of the cases if the plug is really ceased it will break before it turns at all.
🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Why no wd 40? That would help for sure
Not at all in this case like I explained in the video yes it would have stopped the noise but that's still would not have helped anything the threads have got all carbon up with heavy carbon deposits WD-40 will not break through this all it would have done was stop the noise the process is still the same
cheers mate doing this today 1.8 tddi edura de focus engine .not looking forward to it this video is helpful
Thanks a lot mate you'll be fine don't worry about it
I FIND IT EASIER IF YOU GET THE ENGINE TO WORKING TEMPERATURE.
Definitely it help. BUT, point being on some engines you'll have to remove so much "stuff" to get to the glow plugs. That when you reach them it's already stone cold! Then it cannot be restarted because it's just been disassembled! You get the picture! ;-)
@@crpth1 Same here... got the thing nice and hot... by the time I took off the inlet manifold, the water bottle, the EGR and most of the coolant hoses it was time for bed.
@@crpth1 LOL, how complicated things are nowadays. I had a Hillman Avenger once, easiest new head gasket ever - pushrod valves. Sometimes I think I might get another, but then maybe not :-)
I've heard that if you get the engine warmed up by going for a drive after soaking recesses in penetrating oil. Then use freeze spray directly on the plug it makes it easier but never tried it and might give it a go when my van needs some new ones 👍😉
put some oil on it.
Would have made absolutely no difference like I explained in the video it would not have gone through the carbon on the threads all it would have done his stop making the noise the problem would still be there

Can i use the impact wrench?
No. Recipe for disaster
Whenever I remove glow plugs I soaked them all with either a three in one oil or a very thin engine oil and leave them overnight then go back to them the following day preparation is 9 tenths of any job don't just go in smashing spanners and ratchets about expecting to take glow plugs out that has been in a car for 5 years Plus it ain't going to happen
We all don't have that luxury of being able to do that most customers bring their car in in the morning and expect it done that day I cannot wait that long I have been doing this for long time penetration oil would have not done anything in this case it was too packed full of carbon and penetration I would not have gone through iproven in the video that if you take your time and do it like this you will not have a problem
@@bodgitandleggitgarage did number 4 come out ok?
bodgit and leggit garage well sir I'm in the same trade as you an have been for a while and with respect we all do things differently if when the end results are the same. I too like you have daily customers wanting work completed the same day as it was brought in. It's fair to say that with the level of engineering in modern vehicles and the complete lack of working space some jobs now take much longer than expected if I'm pushed for time on a glowplug replacement job I use on the day (if the customer can't leave there vehicles) but most can and understand the need to leave the vehicle. Auto gem deep penetrating srpay grease it's just amazing at very quickly un seizing rusted or stuck fixings. Parts. Service items. This is a deep pushing grease product not an oil it's so much better then penetrating oil, infact I don't ever use penetrating oils. Sorry for the late response I've been very busy at work. Take care ......
Hi love ya vids,
I noticed another you tuber Pulled outer thread casing from glow plug but the rest stayed in,His advise were to Grasp the top with nose pliers tap down gently and pull up and repeat this will relieve any inner stuck in glow plug,saved him a pretty penny,same if the glow plug thread is just spinning you will have that little bit of play to tap down and pull up with screw driver under the nut shaped part while unscrewing the glow plug,Hope this helps if having a future issue with above
Why not use wd 40
The amount of money people have made off Ford tdci Delphi system engines must be unreal
We all need to make money some way😁😁😁
Probably one of best small diesels around compared the Peugeot citroen it's very long laster has some stupid things but I'd say rebound for durability
Worth adding, put some coppa slip on the threads of the new ones. Will make it easy to get out next time if needed to. Also whenever we do track rod ends put coppa slip on the steering arm and track rod. Saves all the hassle of it being siezed next time it needs to be adjusted/come off.
Hi mate are you referring to copper grease because personally I don't use copper grease on anything with a thread because of the bit that's in it and it acts like sandpaper or are you referring to a different type of Grease
@@bodgitandleggitgarage yea copper grease, pad grease. there's no movement when the glow plugs are tightened up so no wear between the surfaces, it's very soft copper dust in the grease. They are guaranteed not to sieze in. Just done a second set of glow plugs after 80k on a Ford that had this stuff on, they practically fell out. Steel of the plugs and alloy heads are prone to reacting and sizing the plugs in, coppa slip prevents this. Try it.
boom sorted good to no mate

Of course it would be nice the person before you or even the manufacturer did this. Would make it so much easier for the rest of us
Great vid Leon 👍
thanks mate
I had a similar problem with my car recently a 57 plate vectra 1.9 cdti 120 bhp, did 3 on my own that were quite easy to take out but 1 glowplug was seized and squeaky like in this video. Took it to a mechanic at a home address and he was using all his strength moving it back and forwards, his arm was shaking he was using so much pressure on his arms and the glow plug was very squeaky as he was turning it. I told him to stop several times as I felt he would break it. He carried on and suddenly it came loose but would not come out but kept spinning.
Fearing the worst I took it to an engine repair shop and he managed to remove it in 15 minutes and only charged me 10 pound. Looked at the old plug and half the threads had sheared off it. Probably when the home mechanic was putting all his strength into getting it out. I think maybe he was trying to snap it on purpose to get a job off me to extract it, I no longer bother with this guy.
Its nice to see someone like you doing this job with caution treating it like your own car and doing the job carefully and properly, shows their are mechanics out there who do care for the cars and the customers who they belong to
I have the same engine on my Saab93.
Was you mechanic not wrenching back and fore, or backing out one way only, to cause your concern?
@@Carlostype yes he was going back and forth but using all his strength, he was even thinking of getting a hammer and hitting it once it got too tight for him to turn but I would not allow it.
I no longer use his services
Are you a specialist? My mechanic said if the glow plugs are seized in, the job will cost more as they'll have to get a specilaist in.
Can u put any lubricant,???
Cellulose thinners can help to soften burnt carbon if you can get some in there.
Hi mate you can but it doesn't really work it might stop the squeaking but it's not going to work if it's going to snap it's going to snap there's loads of RUclips videos out there people proving that most penetration oils just do not work with heat candle wax allsorts it just depends on the situation but as you can see I prove from this video you don't need anything in this case
Done 5 of 6 on my Audi number 2 has loosened (or snapped)it just keeps turning and i can pull it up about 5 mm but it won't come out the rest came out quite easily.Should have left it.
Gotta show us taking out number 4 Leon.
It came out pretty much summer to the other one mate
OMG that is painful to watch, lol 🤣
When I was doing plugs on mine and then Mrs 1.8tdci I was soaking them in engine oil for 2 weeks before they eventually let go, but once they did they came out without a hassle, which was lucky.
Good video.
Would your recommend taking them out once a year to stop them seizing?
Preferable in the summer months.
Hi mate not sure about that cos you can still cause other problems use good quality parts I've noticed the cheaper heater plugs tend to get stuck / seized a lot easier
@@bodgitandleggitgarage Wise words as usual. Cheers. Did you ever treat yourself to the
Knipex 45 21 200 30 pliers for the odd C clips Toyota use on solid axles etc.
That sound😬
I thought you'd be used to it by now that's what you sound like when you get up in the morning
@@bodgitandleggitgarage 🤣🤣🤣
Why don't you use penatrating oil spray on them and give wait before spinning them loose?
Have you tried Liquid Wrench or PB Blaster, it would help on removing the boots and glow plugs.
Hard core
My garage just phoned to say he had spent 1.5 hours removing 4 glow plugs seized in the head - I will slip hip an extra £30 quid on top of the bill - what an awful job, but a wonderful video and thanks for showing i feel guilty know, but a job well-done!
Try your glowplug impact gun on NO 4 ?
Hi mate didn't need to
Very good instructional video. Vey helpful when working on an old engine. Do more videos, thanks.
Great job. Do you know to remove stucked glow plug ? I have p0380 code. I think that one or more glow plug are faulty, because voltage on a wire on glow plugs is 10V when glowplug on dashboard indicator is on. Regards.
Did you run the egine before getting them out? Someone tried to assure me to do so
can you put copper grease on the new heater plugs
Yes, on the threads only
Hi mate no do not use copper grease copper grease act like sandpaper and it will destroy the threads and also make it harder to come out there is other Grease is out there I personally don't think they work in this case but definitely don't use copper grease copper grease is good for What It's designed for but not for threads or any moving shafts
@@bodgitandleggitgarage
Thank you Leon, I always take your advice on board 😊
@@bodgitandleggitgarage can you put normal grease on threads if you replacing them so that it makes it easier for next time
@@markholyoak9790 hi mate normal grease will not work as it will not be able to cope with the temperatures and just get gunned up and make things even worse to be honest I haven't really found any Grease to do this properly I'm not saying it's not out there I just haven't found anything that I would say works at the minute good quality heater plugs are better than the cheaper ones I have found the cheaper ones tend to get stuck and seized a lot easier
my heater plug came out after the end snapped off after putting redx one shot in now my friend is using it on customers cars when the same happens , it takes a good couple of days before the hell is let loose
great vid mate, why the heck cant they make glow plugs with more beef to em? its bloody annoying, they know they need to be replaced every now and again.
I enjoyed the the squeeky sound! one of my faves next to Styrofoam leon do a vid on #4
