Do I really need to use the glow plug reamer tool? - Page 6 - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Ya everyone of my plugs squeaked and were so punked up it was hard to pull them out.

I think this was just carbon tho. Although if the mehyle plugs have the thinner diameter tip like the Bosch ones do then they definitely did swell. But I think the mehyle ones are just made that way

Have Bosch GPs ever given anyone problems excluding carbon in buildup on in the holes?

I've used them exclusively for nearly a decade without issues. I usually change them every two years without testing and I've never had starting issues with my 617.

I have Bosch GP's in the SDL and they haven't given me any problems in 2 years. The 603 is a PITA to change the GP's on, so I won't be changing any until I have starting issues.

I've had the same set of Bosch plugs for 7 years and no issues. Whenever I'm working in the area I pull them out and ream the holes but that's it. I have yet to see any major issues reported, like the swelling or whatever.
