How to Replace the Glow Plugs on a Fiat Bravo 1.6 Multijet

Model: Fiat Bravo Bravo 2 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Glow plugs

A glow plug may burn out, triggering the warning light on the dashboard. Replacement can be simple, but in some cases, extraction may be difficult, requiring a mechanic to avoid damage. If you wish to proceed with the DIY method, obtain new glow plugs and the appropriate socket insert for installation. Locate the glow plug wiring connections at the rear of the engine and disconnect them using pliers. Now, using a socket wrench, unscrew a glow plug counterclockwise. Carefully extract it and replace it with a new one. Tighten it by hand until it is snug, then use a torque wrench to tighten it to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. Reconnect the glow plug wiring and proceed to replace the remaining plugs.
