[s4mb0]

Is it easy to change the glow plugs yourself on a E320 ? Thanks

Yup they are a doddle on that engine, make sure its been run up to normal operating temp them allow to cool for 10 mins then remove the glow plugs.

If any are difficult to turn out use WD40, if any are difficult to pull out after they have been unscrewed use carb cleaner on the fouled tip/s and gently work the glow plug out using up and down motions and not side to side or you stand the chance of breaking the glow plugs.

Then clear any codes generated by the glow plug fault.

Thanks for the info. Can you clear the codes through the cars computer or do you mean a code reader like a obd

You need an OBD II code reader
