Quote from: Argus on December 28, 2010, 13:45:15I could be wrong but i think there have been less problems with glow plugs for our Aussie members Korean made cars (and these have been primarily a shorting out issue) whereas the european cars may be due to the use of inferior glow plugs.. I could be on the wrong track but I don't think any of the earlier Korean built i30's owned by our european members have had glow plug issues??
Start-up after glow plugs change
Is that photo after glow plug change Surely you mean before...
In my I30 two glow plugs burned out. Prior to glow plugs change (single-handed, because blockheads from Hyundai Service affirmed that I refuel bad fuel ) , my motor was smoking (blue) in the cold morning. Now there are original Mobis plugs but marked NGK (earlier there were tacky plugs marked Yura-tech). Now all is OK.
Probably you are right. Installed by Czech factory plugs brand Yura-tech burn out, in european cars, very often. Glow plugs aren't under warranty, but cost only about 70 EUR -per all four, and replacement is not difficult.
cost 115EUR for one. http://kia.auto.pl/swieca-zarowa-picanto-ceed-soul-hyundai-p-820.html 70 PLN=18EUR.Thieving in Hyundai Services .Perhaps it's true that there's translation error in service book (I don't know about it earlier) , however services play dumb and abuse this writing. You have found the honest service.
I suspect this is more common than (proud) owners are prepared to admit.
Maybe sealant is added as a precaution.
Question for the people that have had this issue: did you get any warning lights come on?
