Glow plugs

[Geoff]

Hi all

Merry christmas

Has anyone had any experience with a 2013 sri 163 insignia glow plugs, these are mine but not sure if these are the expensive 1s ur not as computer says no1 is not working properly

Any comments please thanks

It will be the one's that have the sensor on and yes they are the expensive one's i'm afraid-you will have to remove it to get the correct part number-----Dave

As it say no1 on the PC can I get away with changing just 1 or all 4 need doing cheers

[exclusiv.]

Yes, just change faulty one

Cool I think they r about £80 each
It needs a service so time to book it in as it's got a few things that show up on PC then it might make my "service soon" go away

[Dave1419]

Yeah just change the one,part number is 55590467,but you should check its the same as yours-----my spare one cost me £65,its made by Beru who are genuine parts.--Dave

Is it best to let them do it as I've never changed 1 b4 only spark plugs
I've got these showing up

Air flow valve circuit open
EGR control open.
Engine over boost.
MAP. Sensor
fuel rail pressure sensor.
Engine control ignition relay.
Sounds very expensive

That's entirely up to you if you don't want to do it buts its not a difficult job,and once you have changed it then you will need to clear the fault codes and then see what you are left with-----Dave

So no bleeding involved hopefully I dont break it in the chamber, but stupid question is it best to warm the engine or do it cold

[Dave1419]

No bleeding,its electrical,just remove the connector from the top and use a socket to loosen the glow plug,just be carefull taking the connector off and make sure you get the part number from the broken one before you order one up,plus make sure you don't overtighten the new glow plug when you put it in-----Dave

Tighten to 11NM hth.

Tighten to 11NM hth.

And loosen at the same torque with plenty of lubrication and a warm engine or you might snap it
