First, lift the bonnet of the engine compartment. Open the air filter box by releasing the two clips on your right that secure the cover.

Disconnect the air intake duct and unscrew the two 10 mm bolts located behind the air filter box. These steps will allow you to access the sought-after glow plugs and create the necessary space for their replacement. Before reaching the glow plugs, disconnect the small diesel pipes using a 17 mm spanner, unscrew the two bolts beneath them, and disconnect the side connector.

Unscrew the structure above the glow plugs (five upper bolts and four lower bolts), and then you can unscrew the glow plugs themselves.
