glowplug leakage
i am here to try to sort someone else's mess.
my sister has a 1.9 desiel r reg alhambra. her hubby trying to save some money, changed the glow plugs and wound one in thinking they the same as sparkplugs. there is now a presure release in the second from the right standing at the front of the car ive been asked to try to prevent the head from needing to be replaced. i think that the glow plug has pushed its seat skew wiff has anyone else done this and any sugesgions on how to fix. |
