Reckless, you mean.

I have a 535d (M57 engine) that was difficult to start when it was around zero degrees celsius or colder. After i changed glow plugs and glow plug module, my car started easily in minus 10 degrees celsius. When diesel cars have problems starting when it is cold, it is very common that the glow plugs and/or glow plug module are defective. The smartest thing is to change both the glow plugs and the glow plug module at the same time when you first have off the intake manifold.

Just came back to view this again prior to pulling the intake manifold. Great video.

Great video! I replaced all mine yesterday and the module. I was watching this on the off chance the little bracket got mentioned for the acoustic cover. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out where it went! Thanks for being very detailed!!

Fantastic video mate, thanks for sharing your knowledge, very helpful.

Great video. Now It´s my time to replace mine. Like the long tools you got there.

Only video Ive seen with no dislikes. Nice job

Thank you king, keep up the good work.

Good video Wood! Hope everything is well.

Thanks for the detailed video! Do you happen to have a “how to” video for the swirl flap delete? I would love to see it if you do.

Très bonne video et très bien expliqué 👍👍👍👍merci thank you

Nice video! Thanks

Ah I was wondering what was missing there, I left the actuator on the cover and just had the egr mapped out without replacing it with a delete kid. That looks real tidy though!

Super cool thanks!

very nice video thx

Very nice video. Well explained. What electric screwdriver are you using?

Great video! I’m just planning to replace mine, subscribed! Did u disconnect the battery before doing the whole job?

I have a 2017 X5 xdrive 35 d. would the instruction be the same? Thinking of doing it myself instead of paying $1400 to the dealer. Your video is excellent and detailed.

My glow plug module has a wire dangling down on the chazzy the plug gose to the module thought idk if this a Earth on the body or its a power wire?? If u can shear some idea thanks

How often are you supposed to this as maintenance ? I bought mines like a year and a half ago but I was thinking if I should change them now since the car is tuned

Does the head need to come off if you snap a glow plug?

Who do you send the intake manifold to for sonic cleaning? How would I find a shop in the north Houston area?

I ended up disconnecting the coolant hose going to the block thats just above the module.

Done my one not long time ago The worst parts is cleaning intake manifold

Hi @Woody's Workshop , Love your video, I hope there are some torque specs specified. If you happen to have them, could you share them here? Thank you. Also, where did you do your delete? I want to get it done on mine as well.

multiple tuners have gotten rid of their delete tunes. you will need dpf delete downpipe, egr delete and swirl flap delete block offs. Tunemyeuro may still sell these. JR still offers delete tunes. seems complicated but pretty easy if you're mechanically inclined.

13:58 Excellent video thank you! I removed the coolant hose from the head (3 10mm bolts) and tied it out if the way then unbolted the module, removed the front round plug first, and the last plug was easily accessible with everything else out of the way.

@@percypig3358 Didn’t have to do anything special. I let the car warm up with the cap off and once it was warm enough for the thermostat to open it purged all the air out. Topped off coolant and didn’t have to touch it again. Unlike some of the Hondas I’ve worked on in the past, there’s no air bleed screw that I’m aware of. Dealership wanted $2200 to do this and I have no idea why, it was a very easy job, just be sure to look up torque specs for the intake. I’d tell you but I don’t recall what they were now.

Very interesting video, thanks. My BMW Dealer says that I need to replace my glow plug control module and Carly Adapter shows all 6 glow plugs in fail mode due to this. However, when I have asked my dealer to also replace the glow plugs, they responded that they will replace the ones they can remove but leave the others in place if cannot be removed. How strange is that? Does this mean that in few cases, glow plugs cannot be removed? My car is a BMW 335D E92 from 2008 with a 155 000 km mileage and frankly speaking, I had never had any issue with the pre-heating except since I am living in Sweden and temperatures were approaching -15, -20 deg C and the car was very hard to start, Now that temperatures are a bit better between -5 and +5 deg C, the car starts OK but coughs a little bit for 5-10 seconds or so once starting... do you feel that only the glow plug control module can be responsible for this?

Yes the glow plug module cn definitely be responsible for this. Also the glow plugs are very prone to snapping and if they snap they get stuck in the head of your engine. Maybe BMW doesn't want to run the risk of breaking them and having to extract them out of your engine because it is a very difficult and annoying procedure that includes drilling and stuff like that. I would replace the glow plug module first, clear the faultcodes, and then see if it's better. If it's not better you will still need to change the plugs. If you want to tackle the plug yourself you need to warm up the engine, shut it off, then take the intake manifold off, soak the plugs in wd40 for at least 2 hours and then veeeerrryyyy slowly cracking them lose whit a spray of wd40 and very slowly crack them cm by cm when turning so very slowly. Hope this answers your question and informs you a bit extra :)

@@erico6117 if you are going to replace a glow plug, it is best to replace them all at once. When replacing glow plugs it is never a bad idea to replace the moduoe as well. You could replace the plugs first and erase the codes. I mean if that works, it works. But if the fault comes back you should replace the module as well.

Dimitar, the dealership confirmed that none of the plugs are actually bad. But the plugs module itself is faulty and now along with the throttle body valve. Both needs to be replaced. They also mentioned that my battery is bad and also needs to be replaced. I wonder if it’s because of the low voltage battery level that it’s throwing out faulty module and the throttle body valve. The car shifts fine, no power loss, no studder, nothing. I’ve drove the car hard with the CEL on for a week before I took it to the dealership. What do you think ? Could it be my low voltage battery throwing out those faults ?

@@erico6117 it could be that because of your low battery voltage your glow plug module has failed but it will still need replacement as well as your battery. About the throttle body valve i dont know what to say no experience with that one. I hope after you change your battery and glow plug module, your throttle body will work normal as well.

The oem glow plugs and relay should be Beru not Bosch. The glow plugs need to be functioning properly otherwise the car won’t regenerate and you end up with dpf light coming on. Good vid tho!!👍🏽

The rest clicked at 20. It’s running better. I’m doing the valve cover today and probably taking the injectors to my local Bosch diesel overhauler guys. They can test and clean for $80. Worth it IMO.

Module is a very common failure item. It's recommended to change plugs with module at once.

It baffles me when someone goes to all the trouble of making a video like this and doesn’t even bother with proper torque specs.
