ARD, Thx for that. Hopefully that'll shed some light on it.

Trying to get to the glow plugs

Opened the bonnet and removed the cover of the intake box. I feel stupid because now I can't figure out how to undo the fastener pictured below. The drawings in realoem tell me nothing and searching on the internet brings no help either.

I don't want to break anything and so brute force is out for the moment...

Airbox is off

Apparently brute force is the answer. A good tug pulled it off.

Next step is the acoustic mat.

6 new glow plugs and GPCU

Just to close out on this thread, I ran out of time last weekend and on Tuesday sent an email to the SA to get the info I wanted. They countered with an offer to fix it at a fraction of the original quote and I agreed. So, I guess that experience is one yet to come. There is an SIB on it, I have yet to read what is in it. We needed to get it fixed and I had a busy week with another coming up.
