I would suggest changing them all out first. If you only changed 1, the other ones will probably come due very soon. Might as well do it all in one shot.

I do the same thing when 1 glow plug goes bad. My dealer made that mistake with my E-cdi. They saw 1 glow plug was bad so they changed it. About 1 month later, I was back again for the same problem. One of the techs is a friend of mine and he just changed them all out and the problem was solved. (He obviously didn't work on it the first time). This was about 30,000 miles ago when the car was under warranty.

Well that is not good! Being a 05 you may need to change all the plugs. How many miles? I just did the 100k service on my 05 C with 100k so you might be next. No use trying to save the plugs if they are corroded.

Yes I agree I'm right about to change the one that just fouled to get it back to dealer' it's 25 miles away don't want to hurt it" plus it's still under the warranty I just got her a week ago" hope I don't have to leave it all together ' I really like this car' if it's just plus an nothing else! Is does throw a Lil smoke every now an then but power is awsume! Some one said that it could be to much oil? It just started when they serviced her
