late model T4 glow plug 2.5TDI

[t4owner]

help needed
I want to replace the glow plugs in my 1999/2000 long nose Caravelle 2.5TDi I have found threads to do this on the 2.4 diesel but nothing on the turbo 2.5 diesel. Can anyone help please. I have got the replacement plugs but can't see how to get to plugs on the engine. Thanks for looking.

Hi you must remove radiator grille.

I have removed the upper grill and lower cover that runs under the headlights, what a hell of a job it was to get the clips at the ends to release. I then unbolted the radiator and tried to lower it but there are 2 pipes stopping me lowering the rad, one on the right which is to the pressure vessel, I disconnected that, the one on the left went to another header tank just to the left of the rad as you look at it. I was unsure about that so I left it connected. I could see the fuel injectors but no sign of the heater plugs which I assume shoud be near the injectors. It's very tight in there and not easy to see what's going on. Is it worth me going on or do I have to fork out the £139 that I have been quoted and admit defeat?

Hi The glow plugs are below each injector and a little to the side you then pull the connector off,(plastic cover)you can not see the plugs before you remove the connector

Thanks Kenny I'll give it another go as soon as the weather improves, we have had snow here today! not good for working outdoors.
