"12months or 1 year, which ever is the earlist."

I would have thought they would be both the same!
Doesn't sound bad for 1-5 years old.

many modern Diesels, i can't quite work out why this should be so, they used to come out spark plug like without the slightest problem (as did injectors) on older iDi engines, if i was to buy a Diesel again (most unlikely) i think i'd be removing and refitting the glow plugs every couple of year to make sure this didn't happen.

Injectors getting stuck in have seen MB A Class engines (and complete cars) written off, apparently you can't get the head off without getting the injectors out, seen pics of 3 ft long slide hammers welded to the things and strong men battering hell out of them and still they won't shift, but then first A Class was a horrid design, period.

It's electrolytic corrosion between the steel glowplugs and modern alloy materials used in engine blocks now.

Same with injectors. There are companies now that are specially set up to remove injectors - it must be big business for them considering the number of engines in existence with this problem. They use hydraulic pullers. Some engines that snap cambelts end up snapping the rockers rather than bending the valves, so the head has to come off.

Probably better to pay a specialist than risk damaging the rest of the engine trying to remove them.

As the car is less than 5 years old, isn't this covered by 5 year warranty?

Is the same engine used by KIA? They have a 7 year warranty....
