HI all,

As below

BMW 320d E90 2006 163- Glow plug replacement - How do I know if I need to get controller changed also?

I am looking to take my car in to a local indie to get the glow plugs changed, I already have the 4 x Bosch glow plugs, last time I had it code readed (not long ago) it was coming up with

Glow plug cylinder 3

however I thought it would be best to change all 4

how do I know if the controller needs replacing also? as I cant tell if this is faulty? however they are saying its best to replace this at the same time

Shall I just go get a controller also? can anyone recommend a controller? I have seen Beru as being the manufacturer of these? price wise around £39-£40 new? and around £15-£20 used?

I have got a reasonable labour quote of £82 inc VAT from a well known BMW indie in S.Wales which includes the glow plug change and the controller change, I thought this is quite a decent price. Cant seem to find any cheaper from an indie BMW place.

Most other people were charging around £140+ for labour only.
