In this tutorial, you will see how to replace the glow plugs in the Honda Civic 1.7 CDTI, a very simple operation. For this, you will need a long 12mm socket.

First, warm the engine slightly, then open the bonnet and remove the upper cover by undoing the 4 bolts. Next, locate the glow plugs situated behind the injectors, disconnect their respective connectors, and clean any residue in their vicinity.

Once done, undo the first glow plug, remove it, and fit the replacement, avoiding over-tightening. Repeat the process for the remaining 3 glow plugs.
