Hard starting and poor running when cold are the most common symptoms of bad glow plugs. This video was done on a 2016 Ford Everest 3.2 with 215,000km. Models may have slight variations but the bulk of what you see here will be the same.
Thanks a mill for your wonderfull content. Just finished changing my 2015 xls ranger glow plugs following your videos. Its back on the road. I freaked out a bit when it started the first time then cut off. Tried to restart several times with no luck. Somehow I got the idea that it must be fuel, so I started pumping a bit on the accelerator and it worked. 🇿🇦
Thank you for sharing your experience on this topic I have followed every step of the way with your process from cleaning and replacing the glow plugs on my Ford Ranger 2015 PX2 🤙🏽👍👍 it’s working perfectly the engine performance is just what I expected God bless you mate keep up the Awesome work 🙌🙌🙏🙏
@@user-music4u had an error code but not a check engine light. I replaced during summer but if it was cold would have hard cold starts and poor running when cold.
Thanks for the great video, quick question, I’ve been told sometimes the glow plugs will be seized. If I get to taking them out and they feel stuck what do you recommend? A few people say wd40, but in not sure about putting any substance down there. Would you recommend using anti seize on the new glow plugs when installing? Thanks
Have you installed any other brands of glow plugs? I replaced mine with ngks and it seemed to of not used all of the thread compared to the geniune ford ones. Px2 ranger. Its all running sweet but..
Low rpm doesn't really save you fuel, it's about load. But I have a 2014 3.2l bt50 and I normally get about 9-10L/100 that's mostly driving in the suburbs and also towing between 1-2 tonne. On the highway you can get easy low 8s without towing anything.
Standard wheels and tyres I used to get 29-30mpg mixed driving if I was light on the accelerator from my 2012 manual. My friend has an auto and struggles to get above 25-26mpg
I’m experiencing low power at low rpms for my 3.2 ranger, this is after my intake manifold and Egr was cleaned. It was fine for a month or so. Now it’s really low power. Could it be the glowplugs? No check engine light on as well though
Hey mate, do you have your own workshop? Just wondering if my glow plugs go bad id rather go to you than have the displeasure of taking that POS inlet manifold off again!
