Changing glow plugs on N57?

Len_Beach · 12-28-2014, 03:39 PM

I've had a glow plug fault ever since I bought by 2009 330d. I replaced the control unit with a second hand item from eBay but the error remained along with the rough idle so I'm now going to replace all 6 glow plugs and fit a brand new control unit.

ECP states that these are the glow plugs for my car and the product code differs to the M57; has anyone bought these?

Are there any guides to removing the manifold?

How did you get on, did you manage to change the glow plug?

I had all 6 changed by an Indy in the end as part of s bigger service. I think it cost about £120 for the labour.

Thanks, I have an error code on one cylinder so may leave it a while then.
