Fairly straightforward to change the tdi glow plugs. They are located on the near side of the engine and the first thing to do is give them a good airblast to remove any debris and stop it falling into the glow plug hole after you've remove the plugs. Next loosen the top nut on each glow plug and slide away the connecting bar. Remove the plugs the same as you would spark plugs (ie with an appropriate size socket) and replace them with new plugs. Make sure top nuts have enough space to slide the connecting bar back into place - tighten holding nuts. Job done.

How do you decipher which spark plugs control what and which controls the glow plugs inside the engine cylinders in a vw jetta 2003 tdi?
There are no "spark plugs". The 4 on top of engine ( under the black or blue rubber looking harness) are your glow plugs. Then there are 3 to the right side of engine that are glow plug heaters for your engine coolant....At least that's what my mechanic showed me and how he explained it to me.
Why does my 02 tdi glow plug light only stay on for 1-sec on cold mornings cranking for 20sec before she starts i allredy changed glow plugs and temp sensor tried to trick ts with ice water no luck?
I have the problem with my 2001 tdi jetta. On REALLY cold mornings the glow plug light actually stays on and the car starts... In the hot weather the light only stays on for a second but starts pretty well... It is when it is 50-70 degrees that the light does not stay on and glow plugs are not heating up. pls let me know if you find anything out. It's driving me crazy. My Email is mikluschak@cavtel.net
