Snapped glowplugs in Merc Vito CDi! help needed


Recommended Posts

Hi has anyone got a glowplug extractor tool I can rent, or knows a mobile service in Sheffield that will remove then. I also need the injector seats refacing....

 

Vehicle is a mercedes Vito 110 CDi and these are (after some forum searching) common faults.....

 

Otherwise a decent garage that will do the work.... I will have to get the van towed.....

 

Thanks for any help / info

Done!!! took the whole weekend with much engine heating / cooling / two cans of penetrating oil and a pricey Glow plug extractor tool and they are out.....

 

Now for the clean-up

 

Thanks for the info, will give Sheffield Engine services a shout if I get stuck again....
