Fix the P0380 error code and cold start issues on your Toyota Avensis 2.0 D-4D! In this video, I will show you how to safely diagnose faulty glow plugs using a multimeter and how to replace them without snapping them in the cylinder head.

We will go through the entire process: from removing the engine cover and power rail to testing resistance and installing new plugs with the correct torque settings.

Tools Used:

Socket set (10mm, 8mm)

Long/Deep socket (12mm) for the plugs

Multimeter

Torque Wrench (highly recommended)

Penetrating oil (for stuck plugs)

Torque Specifications:

Glow Plugs: 13 Nm (Do not overtighten!)

Important Safety Tip: When unscrewing old glow plugs (Step 5), it is best to work on a slightly warm engine. Heat expands the metal and helps release the threads. Use a 12mm deep socket and turn gently. If you meet resistance, apply penetrating oil and wait. Do not use excessive force!
