Replacing broken glow plugs

A specialist method to remove broken or seized glow plugs and fit new ones without removing the cylinder head.

When do you need help with glow plugs?

Glow plug problems often start small but can end with a broken or seized plug in the head. Common signs include:

The engine is hard to start when cold.

The car goes into limp mode or loses power in cold weather.

White or blue smoke on start-up.

The glow plug light is on or flashing on the dashboard.

Rough running in the first minutes after start-up.

A fault code related to glow plugs or the glow plug control system shows up in diagnostics.

A specialist method for broken glow plug removal

We use specialist tools that let us access each glow plug—even if it’s broken or seized—and remove it in controlled steps. This allows precise work around the plug and the threads in the head, instead of forcing it out.

What makes our method so cost-effective and safe?

Lower risk of further damage

Specialist tools reduce the risk of damage to the head and threads around the glow plug.

Cost
savings

By avoiding major damage and unnecessary work, we reduce the risk of very costly repairs later.

Shorter
repair time

Often there’s no need to remove the engine or strip it down, which speeds up the repair.
