Let's replace the glow plugs on an Opel Corsa Diesel. Lift the bonnet to access the engine bay and begin disassembling the parts.

Remove the engine soundproofing panel to reach the glow plugs. Grip the coil with your hands and twist it until it comes out of the cylinder head.

Use a socket spanner to unscrew the glow plugs. Take the new glow plug and insert it into the cylinder head with the socket spanner.

Finally, refit the plastic cylinder head cover panel. Check the engine's operation by starting it.
