It's also looks like this harness needs to come off
Finally not sure how these glow plug caps come off, do they...
Just about to purchase some Glow Plugs for a w203 Estate Diesel 52 plate.

Hey Guys,
Not sure if I need change glow plugs on mine 2003 e320cdi. Cant find any record that it has been done in past. I dont have any issue with starting or glow plug flashing in dash. Just thought 10 years now, time to replace.

I can't get in to get the black cap off,
Is there an easy way or tool to pull it off. I've been using long nose pliers., they fit down to reach but I cant open...
I bought this direct from Mercedes a few weeks back. It has only been used to determine there was nothing wrong with the original!
As such it was fitted to the car for about 3 hours and then removed.
It cost me around £140 so if anybody needs one as new I'd take £80 posted in the UK.

Right, finally did the injection pump valve seals and at the same time changed all the seals for the fuel pipes.
The problem is that the glow plug cap for no.1 broke of leaving me with just the wire.
I suppose i could solder a wire onto the existing wire and twist the other end of the wire to...
Hi, I've got the glow plug light staying on for about a minute after starting. Having read previous threads it's appears to be a glow plug. HAD a quick look on the engine but I can't see them.

Hi,
I'm getting the coil light coming back on on the dashboard after the engine is started for about a minute then it goes. I've been told it means one of the glow lamps has gone.
Are they easy to change and if so how do you know which one it is?
Any advice much appreciated
As title,
Not mine but an acquaintance has a C220CDI, snapped a glow plug trying to remove it and stupidly snapped an easyout trying to remove that!
Best way to go about removal?
I replaced two glow plugs today .Once loosened they screwed out with my fingers. Not stuck at all
The biggest part of the job was removing inlet manifold to get at the job
I am glad thats done.The warmest day so far this year
Had a remap with tuning and EGR delete done at a well known tuning company. They tried to program the ECU twice, although after programming the car wouldnt start and the radiator fan was going at full speed. Maybe an checksum error. They put back the original ECU program but then the glow plug...

I have a w220 S320cdi and glow plug number 2 has a snapped glow plug. It seems the plug still works as the pin which runs inside the glow plug is still connected to the head. This has been like this since I got the car 4 months ago.
When checked on the star machine strangely number 2 did not...

Still having a dispute with the supplying garage (non MB) who say that they do not think there is a problem. Car is W203 220CDi
Glowplug light goes out when I start the engine. But as soon as I put it in Drive the light comes back on and stays lit for about 1 minute.
Comments anybody...
