Intake manifold removal will be different. But the plugs themselves are the same.

Thank you, LightMan

I just changed mine today using your directions. Thank you very much. It took me about six hours, but I was very careful and i was not in a rush. The EGR connection is the worst part. I did remove the washer fluid tank, but I was able to remove the cooling line unit from the tank so that I did not have to open the coolant lines. For the #2 wire I had to disconnect the adjacent fuel fine to remove the glow plug wire. This made it much easier, however, I had to bleed and crank to get the car started. I do not care for the way the wires connect. I would prefer a threaded connection.

I tried using Simple green to clean the intake.....waste for time and money. B100 did the trick.

Although this job appears to be very involve I believe it took me less time to replace these as it took me to replace the five glow plugs on 1985 300D.

Once again, thank you for your instuctions.
