We can see in this video how to change the glow plugs on an Audi A3: we can find the kit of 4 glow plugs for example on E-bay with the code 265609544362 at the price of 115.00 euros, with free delivery. We will start by removing the connection plug, then unscrewing them and finally, using a magnet, we will extract them.

The youtuber also equipped himself with a reamer that, coated with a suitable grease and inserted into the seat of the glow plugs, cleans the seat, before inserting the new glow plugs. Once this is done, we place the new glow plugs in their seat, after coating the thread with copper grease, and tighten them to 17 Nm. We put back the connection plug and the job is done.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
