Afternoon all,
After having decided to change my glow plugs on my 2004 1.9tdi, I thought I would unplug the harness and spray some WD40 around the glow plugs before attemting to remove them a couple of days later. To my horror 2 of the ends of the harness have partially broken off ( towards the front end of the harness ) and are sat on top of the glow plugs.
Is it wise to try and pry these off the the glow plugs and maybe glue them back or am I better getting a replacement harness and changing?
If the latter is the option then is it just a case of cutting the wires on the existing harness and splicing the new harness wires to the old wires.From what I can see from replacement harness`s there appears to be just 2 wires with no plug or connector at the end of them.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated by this old fool.
