1997 - 2002: 2.2 diesel - replace glow plugs - vinny
Does anyone know how difficult it would be to replace the glow plugs in a 2.2 diesel turbo espace?

{No idea of exact year of registration (as we frequently ask people to include in the header but ignore), so picked info up from drop down menu - DD}

From memory I think access to the glow plugs requires removal of the inlet manifold.hth

Two completely different 2.2 diesels in that model; neither are nice to do - around an hour book time if everything goes well..... It rarely does; the DCi can break plugs in the head.
