No 4 glow plug was sheared off when I bought the car. The hex just spun round, wobbled side to side but the plug wouldn't unscrew. However it still worked, so I left it be. I decided to tackle this and booked it in with a Merc specialist who said he'd removed plenty of sheared plugs. This is...

Hi, been looking through the service book but it doesnt say anything about changing glow plugs? Is there any periodicity for them?

Afternoon all Early today I viewed a 2006 ML with the V6 Diesel engine. On start up the glow plug light remained illuminated for a good 20+ seconds. I'm guessing this isn't good and even if it is just replacing the glow plugs this won't be cheap. Mileage wise the car was on circa 83k. Could...

So, I've had the little coil light come on and stay on for longer than normal recently so I thought I should change the glow plugs - they we're due a change anyway. I took the engine cover off, and worked from the back of the engine to front as I remember that plug number 5 (closest to the...

A quick q guys when I started my car today after two days the glow plug light stayed on after the engine began to run for 20 seconds. However when I turned the car off and left it for a couple of hours and restarted it this problem did not occur. I have noticed that when I start the car after a...

Hi all The glow plug light is staying on on my 99/2000 320Cdi for a while after I have started the car. I have owned the car for about 4 weeks and after having read through the paperwork that came with the car ( it has got full MB service history ) it was noted in a service report from 2009 (...

Hi all, I am new to this site. I was thinking of buying a 2006 E280 (facelift model) Auto avantgarde, but the glow light is on - I presume this means the plugs need replaced. A local mechanic told me that these can be tricky to get out and sometimes get stuck fast, thus involving removing the...
