Hi All,

Got a compression tester but as this is the first time I have used it on a 200tdi I would like to know what size/ type thread dummy injector to buy?

Or maybe someone knows the thread size/ type on the glow plugs?

Thanks
 
Use the glows. Don't know the thread off hand but if no one else comes forward with the info I've got a plug somewhere and I'll measure it up if I can find it.
 
Excellent, thanks for coming forward Flossie and JM.

I've been warned glow plugs can snap/ shear......wd40 every day squirted on until the weekend....fingers crossed as I am the definition of ham-fisted.
 
Plus gas or even some diesel every day would be better than wd40.
Getting the engine hot just before removal will help too.
 
Tdi glow plugs normally come out a doddle as they are quite chunky compared to a lot of the modern ones which are tiny.
