Let's go through the main steps for removing and replacing the glow plugs on a Chevrolet Captiva. First, open the engine bonnet and start by removing the upper plastic cover of the engine; then disconnect the connectors of the glow plug coils, using a socket wrench with an extension to unscrew and remove them, as shown in the video.

At this point, install the new glow plugs, ensuring they are the correct type and have the same thread pitch; screw them in by hand and then tighten gently with a wrench, reconnecting the coils.
