    You find a company on the net you are calling. They come and dial. You can also buy a drill set and play yourself.

    I don't know if I can see correctly, but there was probably something combined there, which would increase the cost of the service. The kit can buy, only if it breaks the tap will get worse. For a company dealing with this, it is a while and you are a few hundred lighter.

    Enter the glow plug unscrewing kit on Google for a variety of choices. Just don't be surprised if something goes wrong and you'll need to drill, drill tap or spindle. It may happen that you damage the candle socket, but in extreme cases.

    If you want to do it yourself, you can also find a way to do it yourself.
    On youtube there are videos on how to do it and what tools to use. I advise you to take the advice of a robokop colleague to heart because it certainly won't be cheaper by yourself.

    I had such a problem with Zafira 2.0. The head was removed, without experience it is hard to do it. as someone has done it before and you can benefit from experience. There is a purchase of tools and risk. It is easier to disassemble the head and have someone who will repair the head [I mean removing broken candles]

    It makes no sense to pull off the head and give it to someone to "pull out" the candles. It will come out even more expensive than pulling them out on the car. For the first candle I pulled out, all I needed was a 9 mm drill and of course a lot of patience. now I have sets for a nice few zlotys and some candles are still difficult.

    As a colleague from Mondeo did not do this and there are no tools for it, it is better to return the car to a mechanic and have the broken candles replaced
