Before proceeding with any operation, it is advisable to disconnect the battery to avoid short circuits and accidents. Lift the front bonnet and remove the engine protection cover; this way, you can locate the glow plugs situated at the top of the engine bay. Disconnect their electrical connectors and test them one by one with the appropriate tester.

Carefully unscrew the glow plugs and remove them from their housing, clean the area with a suitable cleaner that will not damage the engine, and insert the new glow plugs. After screwing them in and reconnecting the electrical connectors, you have completed the replacement.
