Replacing the Glow Plugs on Alfa Romeo 147

Model: Alfa Romeo 147 MK 1 - Years 2000-2010
Part: Glow plugs

Lift the bonnet and insert the support rod. Remove the two bolts securing the engine cover and take it off. Obtain a 9 mm glow plug socket with a rubber insert and unscrew the four glow plugs. It's that simple! As you can see, this is a straightforward task that anyone can do, so there's no need to take the car to a garage. It is recommended to apply some copper grease to the new glow plugs before fitting them. Refit all the glow plugs carefully and replace the engine cover.
