how to replace a gloplug 2017 Tiguan Mk2 2.0 TDI : Cylinder 4 Glow Plug Circuit P0674 00 [237] - Electrical Fault

 almost as soon as i deal with the air sensor up pops another fault (to be fair I have seen it before, but cleared and ignored it)


4987 - Cylinder 4 Glow Plug Circuit (Q13)
          P0674 00 [237] - Electrical Fault

          MIL ON - Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear
             Freeze Frame:

                    Glow cycles below temperature threshold-Bits 0-7: 0
                    Outside temperature sensor 1: B1: raw value: 9.0 °C


apparently 3 are normal gloplugs and one is special (normally cylinder 3) which an an additional sensor and is much more expensive


Luckily this is cylinder 4
Should really change as a set, but this time Im going to wing it.

2 parts I needed to buy

  1. New Bosch gloplug (ECP partno 438 44 0017) from EuroCarParts : £14.99 inc VAT
  2. Draper 16579 Metric 3/8-Inch Square Drive Hi-Torq 6-Point Deep 10 mm Socket  https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072JTMVYC

  • 5-10 min job
  • engine cover pull off
  • pull off glopplug connector
  • use air line or pipe to blow out any debri in plug hole
  • remove/replace gloplug (make sure you compare them side by side for similarity)
  • repeat steps in reverse
  • clear DTC 
  • make a brew


Heres the new and old and 10mm socket
