Tips on How to Change the Glow Plugs on 1.3 MJT Engines
Model: (Various brands) Various
The 1.3 CDTI engine is used in many models from Fiat, Lancia, Opel, and Suzuki, making glow plug wear a common issue. The glow plugs are located at the front of the engine, just in front of the rocker cover. Simply remove the engine cover to locate them. A quick functionality check can be done by disconnecting the connector and gently touching the glow plug with an electric wire connected to the positive terminal of the battery: if a spark occurs, the glow plug is fine. A problem that may arise during replacement is that the glow plug may not unscrew. It is advisable to spray some penetrating oil and let it sit overnight before unscrewing it with an 8 mm socket. Before installing the new one, apply some special grease and do not exceed the torque specification.
