Hi, plug is stuck - how do i get it out? is it reasonable to expect a final price before my mechanic starts working on something like this? Do you recommend I take it to a VW dealership or an engine re-builder or just a regular mechanic shop?? That is my main dilemma as i heard VW dealer will prefer replacing the head not trying to save it but i am really not sure(?) Would appreciate any advice. Oh, also should I not drive the car or is there a way to check if i can drive like that. well it starts perfectly but my concern is can the plug FLY out like a rocket due to the pressure inside. you see it is actually stuck meaning i can not take it out but it is a little bit loose when you move it with the finger compared to the other plugs. Thoughts? THANKS. Last comment: god how i regret trying to be a hero change glow plugs myself in order to save $100 and now i might have to pay like $2500!!??!!?? I want to cry :(
