Glow plug controller

Post by b21playa » Tue Sep 11, 2018 10:36 am

Anyone changed one on a 3.0sd? Just wondering if it can be done without removing inlet manifold like with the e60’s

Thanks

Not the answer I was hoping for :( but thanks.

Wish it was like my e60 535d and e90 335d where I done them without taking intake off.

Guess i’ll Have to order glow plugs as well then, might as well change them if inlet has to come off

Had mine changed by bmw and they didn’t take the inlet manifold off was charged £100 was worth paying that
