VW Touran BKD 2004 - Glow plug location #

Posted by Paul Howd on October 16, 2015, 8:39 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 54 plate
Engine Size and Code *: BKD

Where are/how do you get at, the glow plugs on this???

I know, I have been doing this for 30 years and have never changed the glow plugs on a VW PD engine!!!

Now I find myself having to do so I cannot see the damned things.

where are they??

They are on the front bumper side of the engine.
Nice and easy to get at.

Hi Paul,

If it is a BKD the glowplugs are beside the injectors under the rocker cover

Ahh that explains it

Do they have seizure issues or does the constant oil bath protect against such problems?

Be careful here, why do you want to replace glowplugs, fault codes logged for glowplugs perhaps? Head looms on these go high resistance flagging all sorts of codes for injectors and glowplugs, in answer to your question about removal, they are only torqued to 10 NM so no problem removing, I reckon on a full VCDS scan on 10 PD engined motors, at least half would flag 1 or 2 glowplugs down, does not affect running or starting, If you are going to do the plugs, advise customer that while you are in there it would be wise to replace head loom,but, around Â£80 if I remember right, they will probably refuse

Thanks for that, I do full VCDS on all VAG cars. The extensive and detailed printout never fails to impresses the Customers!

I know the injector head looms are a regular feature on PD engines (Vibration??), Is the glow plug supply on this set up all part of the same assembly?
