Terraclean and Glow Plugs
Seeing as Terraclean is claimed to remove carbon from the combustion chamber of an engine, I'm having it done tomorrow, to see if it aids the removal of glow plugs
Car needs serviced anyway. Not going to hold my breath, but if it does help... My D3 Build Thread

I hope the terraclean is a solution to this perennial problem so that others are allowed easy removal of their plugs.
I did it the old fashioned way - glow plug removal kit, drill and a lot of
Down to the last thread on this one and then the heads were coming off.
Proof positive though that carbon is the issue. This looks more like a Barret 50 cal after removal rather than a glow plug but it was a huge sigh of relief when it came out (eventually).
I have no live rounds, empty cases or pyrotechics in my possession. Sir!Disco3 project

Yes I did, though at the time it probably wasn't free. Still early days back then

Plenty of info ref terraclean on google without even searching you know what its going to say.
All reviews are along the lines of drove much better, then refuelled benefits slightly less, refuelled again no more benefit!
Im not sure how anyone thinks it will help with glow plug removal?
