Removing and installing glow

Withdrawal

PERFORMANCE ORDER

2. Remove the spark plugs.

Setting

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. Screw the glow plug and tighten it to a torque of 15 Nm.
	2. Do not exceed the tightening torque glow, as otherwise it will be reduced or completely closes the annular gap between the working and the threaded part of the spark plugs. The normal value of the annular gap is 0.5 mm. Decreasing the annulus leads to rapid failure of the glow plug system (1 - glow plug with normal annular gap 2 - without annulus).
3. Connect the glow plugs electric wires.
