@@BillHolleyWRH Yes, Im talking about the glow plug module. The glow plugs module has two connections, what about the round terminal,please?! I found the round one connected to the glow plug module on one end and it loss on the other end
By the way, did you also drain some of the coolant or just a bit came out when you disconnected the coolant hose above the glow plug module so it’s not really necessary to drain coolant?
I see you are running green coolant..is that the new bmw green coolant they are using now or is it just regular store bought green coolant? Wondering cause I just bought a 35d and it has green coolant in it too. Not sure if I should replace it with the blue stuff asap or leave it alone for now.
Hey man Im actually replacing the module right now, what are the torque specs for the 3 bolts on that coolant line? Did you end up replacing that rubber gasket too?
Very insightful video! Did you have to code the ecu after installing swirl flaps? Where did that connector next to firewall go since swirl flap actuator was no longer present? Thanks!
James Latimer , no problem starting but cel light and code. Code said glow plug failure on 5 and 6. But it was just the module that is the common issue giving those codes. I think it was a bit under $100 Canadian new.
Thanks for the video!! Will it be possible telling me where the round clip should be connected on the other end of the glow plug, please?! Thanks!
I’m sorry, I only did the glow plug module not the plugs. 430,000km never needed a glow plug replaced.

@@mounir2312 you’ll need to download the wiring schematic for that. I did not encounter that issue.
Thanks!

Only a bit came out, topped it up after.
But I removed the EGR cooler and flushed it later. I also replaced the Rad a few years ago.

It came with green in it. I have since changed it.

I can’t remember the torque specs, but I’m sure they are on the diesel North American FB page.
I reused the gasket.

Blake Etterle, Thank you.
No coding required. I left the actuator attached to the intake and plugged in. Only the rod and swirl flaps are removed.

Thank you very much!
how long has it taken you for the job
am israelhai, it took about 2hrs to do the job. Patients is important, take your time, it’s not difficult.
Bad starting or what was the main problem light on dash ECT and price new or second-hand!! Thanks

Did you replace the glow plugs as well? Or just the glow plug module? CEL is lit on my car also and says Glow Plug Failure on 6.
Dave Nget it had a cel for 5 or 6, but I just the module and all good now.
How many miles at the time of this video?
Hi, 230000km
Dude wrong coolant!
