This has got to be a record, the first booster heater post of the year and in early sept. BTW mine was very smoky Monday morning (4 am). Mine's on a home made timer so at least the smoke cleared before I'd finished walking the dog, it did look scary though ;) .

Don't the newer cars use glow plugs in the coolant circuit to warm up quickly?

If you are going to replace the glow plug, also change the wire Glow Pin Screen.

This is a wire sleeve that slides into the hole where the glow plug screws in.

If this pin screen is damaged or burnt out, a new glow plug wont stop it smoking.

This part can be ordered from butler technik, part number is 252121990113.

I have changed my glow plug 4 times in 8 years and didnt even know this sleeve was there, a small bladed screwdriver can be used to remove once the glow plug is out.

Cost is £18 with next day delivery.
