On my previous ride, a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 300CD I pulled the glow plugs every Fall, inspected, tested and reamed the seats. I now have a 2014 TDI and the manuals I have say nothing about preventive maintenance for the glow plugs.
My question is: Do the glow plugs in this engine need the same sort of attention? On the Benz, if you let the plug maintenance go too long the build-up of carbon on the tips made pulling them very difficult.
