Volkswagen Jetta - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Jetta MK 5, A5 - Years 2005-2010
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: Glow plug replacement instructions

First of all it is suggested to carry out this maintenance with a cold engine since the glow plugs are screwed directly into the cylinder head; It is also possible to identify which glow plug to replace by carrying out a diagnosis in the engine management control unit: a fault code relating to the pre-heating system will be found with the indication in the number of the cylinder in question (the second in this case). Then remove the plastic cover on the engine, disconnect the plug from the glow plug to be replaced, blow into the seat to eliminate any residual dirt and unscrew the glow plug itself; manually screw the new one and then tighten with the key and reconnect the socket; then delete the fault memory.
