Volkswagen Bora - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Bora MK 6 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Glow plugs
Operation: How to know if a glow plug is faulty

From the first images of this video clip, you will notice that the engine check-up software has detected two faults defined as "intermittent" (as you can read on the screen) so more than a fault it is an irregular operation. The first (16764 Glow plug) concerns the glow plugs while the second (17664 Engine coolant sensor) has to do with the coolant temperature sensor. To check the components in question it will therefore be necessary to remove the casing above the engine. Follow the directions on the screen to locate the coolant sensor. As for the glow plug circuit, you have to unhook the connector as shown and then unhook the connection of all four glow plugs. Once you have discovered the glow plugs you have to test them one by one with a tester like the one used in the video or with a traditional type by putting one tip to ground and the other on the glow plug, if there is no contact it means that the glow plug is in short. Car model: VW Jetta 1. 9 TDI Year: 2000 Tools required: Digital multimeter
