Today, learn how to replace the glow plugs on an Audi A4 B8 model. Open the front hood of the vehicle and remove the engine cover by unscrewing the bolts.

Using a screwdriver, move the small tube located next to the glow plugs and then disconnect the cover of each individual plug. Use a Torx wrench to remove them one by one. On Audi vehicles, this operation is quite simple as the plugs are positioned vertically.
