Alfa Romeo 147 - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo 147 MK 1 - Years 2000-2010
Part: Glow plugs
Operation: How to replace the glow plugs of the Alfa Romeo 147.

To replace the glow plugs of the Alfa Romeo 147, let's skip directly to minute 3.05 of the video, as the first part shows how to recognize which glow plug to replace. So, we start the engine and let it reach a temperature of 90 degrees; once it reaches this temperature, we turn it off, disconnect the battery, and remove the top part of the engine (where it says Alfa Romeo). After removing the upper engine cover, we unscrew the bracket bolt on the side of the top part of the engine to create some space. Using a series of extensions and a socket wrench, we unscrew the first glow plug on the right, insert the new glow plug, and tighten it. Now we move on to the second glow plug on the right, which can be found by moving the pipe underneath the recess after unscrewing the bracket bolt. We unscrew it and, using a series of extensions and a socket wrench, insert the new glow plug and tighten it. For the third and fourth glow plugs, we disconnect the connector near the diesel filter and the two bolts near the filter. After unscrewing the part, we unscrew the last two glow plugs with a series of extensions and a socket wrench, insert the last two new glow plugs, and tighten them. We also tighten the last two glow plugs, reassemble everything, reconnect the battery, and start the car, checking if the glow plug indicator light has turned off.
