Lift the bonnet and place the support rod in position. Replacing the glow plugs on this car model is not a complicated process, except that they are quite hidden, and you will need to use a mirror, as shown in the video.

The glow plugs are located at the back of the engine, and you can unscrew their fixing screws with simple socket spanners (they should all be 8 or 10 mm). To detach them from their seat once unscrewed, I recommend using a suitable pair of pliers, as it is difficult to do by hand.

To fit the new glow plugs, proceed in reverse.
