Seized and broken Heater / Glow plugs

We can remove seized / broken heater / Glow plugs from the following vehicles.......

We can also fit inserts to repair any damaged threads.....

Many modern diesel engine'd vehicles suffer from failed or seized in Heater or Glow plugs, as these are required to either start the

vehicle from cold, Aid in the running of the engine or to aid during the cleaning of diesel particulate filters (DPF). They have become an even

more important part of the engines operation, in addition to this, the failure can illuminate the engine management warning lamp which

is an M.O.T Test failure point (currently proposed only) or fail to allow the engine to clean the DPF would also be an MOT failure as this will also illuminate the warning lamp

and can cause a multitude of running problems inc the renewal of the DPF itself, at very high cost due to the platinum within the DPF.

as well as the cause of many common running issues.When it comes to repairing or replacing these plugs many are seized into the

cylinder head and snap off with minimal force being applied. This is where we come in and remove these damaged or seized plugs at

a reasonable cost without removing the cylinder head and creating other associated costs. (although some parts may need removing to allow access)

Please note it is the customers responsibility to ensure access to the Heater / Glow plug is sufficient and reasonable (unless we prepare the vehicle),

the more difficult the access the harder the job and the higher the chance of damage to threads etc. this includes removal of any pipework / wiring / manifolds etc etc

and in the worst case could involve engine removal, where theses plugs are situated in such a position that access is not otherwise possible.

Snapped off Heater / Glow plug elements

The biggest issue with removing snapped off glow plug tips is the same as removing the plugs themselves, access is the biggest problem and the better the access the easier the removal. 

a few of these glow plugs have a size consistent along their length and the same as the hole they fit into all the way into the cylinder this can add the additional risks of the tip pushing into the engine 

meaning a cylinder head removal is required. the only way around this is great care and gentle work which usually wins.

Therefore we also carry the necessary equipment for the removal of snapped off element or the tips from Heater / Glow plugs for......
