Thank you, I corrected my post.
A leaky swirl flap made a mess underneath my intake manifold. I am taking the manifold off to replace the glow plug controller and clean the area. Are there important components behind the bracket that I should be concerned about? |

Glow plug module is easy. I replaced mine within 15 minutes without removing the manifold. You’ll just need a longer extension and recommend a magnetic type of socket. The glow plugs are easy, but you’ll need to remove the manifold. No coolant or anything had to be drained on my end.

NOT MY EXPERIENCE! - If you loosen the hoses and dip stick and pull them out of the way you can see the module - But there was no way I could get my hand in there to disconnect wires. Opinion - youtube says to disconnect wires first then take out the bolts. Anyone tried it taking out the bolts then disconnecting cables? |

There’s no way I could get my hands/tools in there with the intake manifold in place. Removing the manifold made it much easier to reach the module. I’m an amateur DIYer, so I don’t have to be fast like the professionals. |
