2005 E280 CDi glow plug replacement??

[nick73]

Hi guys

I'm wanting to change the glow plugs on my 2005 E280CDi. Is there a 'how to' guide on this anywhere please? I've done a search but had no luck.

I do know that it should be attempted ONLY with the engine hot, so the plug don't snap when removing.

I just need to know what parts I need to remove in engine so, I can get to the plugs.

Many thanks

Nick

Would anyone be able to tell me what order the plugs are in as you look at the engine (1-6)????

From the front, 1,2,and 3 are on the drivers side, 4,5 and 6 on the pass side.....

You also need a special glow plug socket to remove these. A standard 10mm wont do the trick.
