Title: 200tdi HEAD PROBLEM
Post by: ferret on April 08, 2008, 17:42:23

Ive removed the head and stripped it but three of the glow plugs when removed have left the tips in the head, so how can i remove them?

Yes i removed the plugs  but 3 of the tips stayed in the head. Ive tried gently tapping them but they have'nt moved.

so its better to pull them out than tap them back through.

Cool, whenever possible it's best to make use of the fact that Aluminium expands twice as fast as steel when heated ;)
