bipper 1.3 glow plug change

[A500leroy]

Possibly a silly question but ive never done diesels, Is a glow plug change the same as a spark plug change? Do you need to prime the fluel system after or drain it first?

Glow plug has nothing to do with Fuel, but they can be an utter tw@ to do.

Why do you want to change them?

As in is there a problem or just want to do it?

That's often indicative of a general engine management issue, rather than specifically telling you your glow plugs have failed.

Have the car scanned for fault codes before you go any further...
