The best advice on the removal of plugs from subaru every! I changed all 4 in one go recently as subaru dealer didn't wanted to take responsability for doing so and didn't quote either on the job - what's a shame in UK. Two plugs were so difficult to remove that I left them for a week with drop of oil and liquid molly (perfect). And it done the job great. Thank you once again for advice!!! Time is the best advice here and no rush.
Mä puhun tosi vähän Suomea mutta hyvää työtää ja muistaa että aika on sinun paras kaveri tällaista työtä varten. Especially when they stay stuck in both engine heads because of carbon deposit. Good luck!
Thanks so much for that. I'd watched your previous video and did do an exploration into the glow plugs and I got to the left side the same as you. Very Happy with that. However I'd s few issues. Firstly the connectors refused to come off the glow plugs and secondly the tool your previous video suggested for cleaning out the bore of the engine block was discontinued so trying to find a reasonably priced alternative. Can see why no one wants this job. Thanks a million for posting. Excellent video
Hi - For the connectors indeed it could be a bit tricky | You may try to hold them "concentric" with one finger on the plastic body and to pull gently by the L shape with your other hand. This worked quite well for me. Reamers can be found from other brands but be aware of the rather important depth inside the head, the tool should be long enough to reach the stepped section. Also nice to read your positive feedback, tks.
merci! where in europe can you order propper oem parts if you life in a region that does not have any reliable subaru dealers who will sell you parts? (and i mean oem, not faked stuff :-))

Hi, sorry for not being able to answer you accordingly. but if not done yet, you should check first if the dedicated fuse(s) are not worn, leading to un-energised GP. Hope this will help anyhow, cheers.
Hello I have two questions, I hope you can help me, the Oem part of my Subaru diesel is 22439AA020 and this glow plug has marked 7.5v but all the glow plugs aftermarket that I can find has marked 11v or 12v do you think it won't work? Or will damage something if I used them? The second question is this is the second time after almost one year in the same cylinder 2 the glow plug got damaged? So you think is sown thing else is damaging the glow plugs (genuine Subaru used in this case)?
Hi, as a non-professional and based on my experience you shouldn't replace a 7V GP by an identical but 12V before checking first if the ECU allows this swap with "Low" or "Fast" as possible settings of the glowing speed through the OEM or compatible software. Be also aware of the possible corrosion patterns with some aftermarket GP as shown in one of my other videos. Good luck!
Hi, assuming you have carried out the resistance check that led to your declaration of a faulty GP, I would personally fit 2 (or 4) new OEM 22439AA020 GPs and swap the spark plug caps between cylinders 1 and 2. If the problem goes away --> you got a bad GP | If the newly installed GP in cylinder 1 is prematurely defective -> the problem could be the spark plug cap or the harness. Good luck!
The 7V GP has to be replaced by 7V, this is one of the E6 changes, using a 12V GP will not get up to temp so the soot build up will be faster as the GP is used past the engine start to keep the combustion chamber warm and improve combustion.
I shouldn't bother too much about the cylinder location but performing a simple Ohm test with the 4x GPs in place. The one with the higher value will be the one to be replaced.
@@FredSuomi Thanks for your reply. I got a report from Subaru saying " glow plug snapped on cylinder head and pausibly causing compression leak because car has loss of power" it also say " when check data found injector no 1 compensation to be higher then the others" what do you suggest please if you have email I can send you the report to read ? Thanks for your help

@@kommando828 thanks for the info
Oh. What is that spray fluid??
Hi, Liqui Moly 3379, cheers
I got the broken glow plug on cylinder 1. Is cylinder 1 top left or top right?
