The ECHOdiesel is like any other 1.6 diesel with a NA pump. I've owned one.
I took off the fuel lines. That made it easier to get to the nuts on the
glow plugs. Get extra nuts for the job, the two behind the pump can be
difficult. I've done it more times then I would like to remember and even
the first time it didn't take longer then a hour. The glo plugs are about
$20 US each. (not at the dealer)

Cool...I wasn't sure how different it was than my 91 NA diesel. Another thing
that helped me was one of those ratcheting box wrenches (8mm if I recall
correctly). When placing nuts on Glow Plug tips, at least on two behind pump, I
used some glazing putty or similar to hold the nut in the wrench. My hands would
not fit back there to get the nuts on. A good shop should be able to do it far
faster than I can!
