Before starting the replacement of the glow plugs on a Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi, it is strongly recommended to disconnect the battery, or at least remove the negative terminal, to avoid accidents and short circuits. In this model, the glow plugs are located within the engine bay, so first, unclip and lift the front bonnet using the lever inside the cabin.

Once secured, locate the glow plugs and unscrew their fasteners with the appropriate spanner. Remove the faulty glow plugs, install the new ones, and close the bonnet.
