Bought a glow plug module because I read - replace the module not the glow plugs, and that it was relatively easy to change without removing all the stuff mentioned in this thread. Also there is a youtube that shows the guy doing it in 15 minutes.
NOT MY EXPERIENCE! - If you loosen the hoses and dip stick and pull them out of the way you can see the module - But there was no way I could get my hand in there to disconnect wires.
Opinion - youtube says to disconnect wires first then take out the bolts. Anyone tried it taking out the bolts then disconnecting cables?
