Change one glowplug or all of them?

Spook_ie

Have a Skoda 1.6 CDI , 2014, error code says glowplug one faulty, should I change just one or all four?

Considering how easy they are too ring off, I wouldn't risk 3 that don't need to be risked.

If they are free I'd do the 4, but as above if any of them are putting up a fight, I'd leave it be, not worth the risk.

They aren't particularly bad for snapping glow plugs though so I'd definitely see how the other 3 feel. Have the engine hot when trying to remove them.

This theory of having engine hot is of juvenile thought.

Prove us wrong by adding a source or two for your claim, particularly when you are bordering on being uncivil, something I will not abide in this forum.

My engine was red hot when I broke one.from research online and asking lads I’m not the only one who had hassle with them. I broke one and the rest came easy out.broken one still in with the lead removed.anyone have experience removing them and can you weld onto them

I'm in the same boat with an OM606, 2 plugs broken. When I get round to it I'll be drilling and tapping the cores out, I should have pictures for that when I come round to it

Personally, I'd change all plugs at once. Changed hot and cold, indirect and c/r. Last set was on the Avensis, long plug. Changed once I'd arrived home after work, engine hot, all 4 came out without any issues
