Hello
Just had a main dealer service and they changed 2 of the glowplugs as the glowplug lamp was staying on (plugs 4 & 5).
That was last week. This morning glowplug lamp comes on again.
Has me thinking that maybe these glowplugs should all be replaced at the same time as if one has gone presumably then the rest are likely to be close to failure.
Is that correct? Is there a labour cost saving to replacing them all at the same time on the V8 diesel (ie is it a case of while you are in there..) or are they all equally accessible so reasonable to change only as they fail.
Sorry I expect this is a rudimentary question but my spanner knowledge is nearly zero so your comments are welcomed.
Thanks.
