Strange Bubbles

Post by snowington » Wed Sep 04, 2019 6:51 pm

Hi all,


1995 4wd 2.5 Tdi

Lifted up the driver's seat, I was looking at the motor and on the rightest glow plug, there were oily bubbles appearing around it???

Anybody know why this is happening and what I need to do?

Much thanks,

👍🏻😄

Sounds like the glowplug is loose ? Best to get your garage to give it a good service and ask them to check the torque settings around the engine!

If the glowplug is loose, tighten it up.
