Changing glow plugs on peugeot expert van?

Just done this job in 4 hours.
Remove top of air filter and put aside.
Undo coolant expansion unit and hook hose around bracket to hold out of way
Remove 4 bolts on air intake manifold.2 hex at rear. feel with fingers.2 hex behind front of unit, one to left of oil cap and one same place other side that you will need 8mm hex with long shank to get by cylinder head nut.
There is connection for glow plugs on right of manifold, a breather pipe and clip on left of manifold to disconnect.
lift manifold slightly and unscrew air intake unit from front of manifold when you have diconnected pipes.
now you have to wiggle jiggle and prise the plastic manifold out of the 4 metal pipes at the back, there are rubber ring seals around them and are held in by friction. Jiggle manifold over the engine cover and remove,you will need to remove oil filler cap.
The glow plugs are now easy to replace,be very carefull not to break the tops with the socket, and tighten carefully to 16 Lb only as overtightening can damage the elements.
When you reassemble dont forget as I did to screw in the front assembly to the manifold before screwing it down.

there are two fixings on the front as described before plus two right at the back were the branches go into the ally casting inbetween the two outer branches
on the upper side,think the fronts are t30 backs t25 but please check.

Hi, If you meen the air filter box, it just simply slots into a bracket next to the battery, so to remove the box you need to undo the jubilee clip that holds the hose and remove, then get a firm grip of the box and yank up as they are tight, then its off. Hope this helps.
