C3peteo Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 Hi, I've got a replacement to fit as the current is disintegrating. Anyone know how to remove the two wires from this thing? Access isn't great. I've tried to gently pull them but don't want to damage anything. Does that plastic cylinder part come out of its metal bracket?

mk2 Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 Yeah. The lowest connector is the crank sensor. Next up is the injector no.3 timing feedback sensor, then you have that monster round connection behind. I've never removed the two glowplug wires from the round connector, but heard that you can press in the sprung barbs with a small screwdriver or pin from the plug side (not the wire side). You need to lift a tiny sprung locking tab out of the way, then rotate the car side loom plug anti clockwise. Then the engine side half can slide out from memory. I'm so fed up of replacing glow plugs all the time. They just don't last. No matter what brand. Beru, Bosch. Genuine vdub. They all pack up. In all my SDIs. All my glow plug looms are wrecked. I just crimp the plug ends a bit so they keep a nice tight fit on the plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
