Hi all happy (and unhappy) 2.0TDI drivers,
I'm just wondering if I should change my glow plugs on my 143BHP 2.0TDI ?
It's done 63000miles and I think I saw something in the service manual about changing the plugs after 60k ?
I haven't had any problem with the engine, or any warning lights on the display, and I suppose the old saying 'if it aint broke...' applies but I'm just wondering if perhaps fuel consumption is noticably improved by changing the plugs ?
This is my first diesel car ever, and it's on one of these Audi Longlife Service schemes, but I do an oil service myself every 10k as I think 20k on the same oil is just not right and the car isn't due a service for another 10k, so I thought that if it's worth doing, I'll change the plugs myself ?
