not always, if the plugs shorted out and melted, then yes. if they are cracked, then yes. but if they look good, then you'll be fine.

Ok. That's a big chunk of change for some gaskets.

Gaskets and wiring are reuseable. However they sometimes fail so it's always good to inspect them. I had some time today and replaced the glow plugs in the SD.. It's not a difficult job.

Huh would of thought taken longer, if I get to finding out vc gaskets need replaced after tearing apart is that a dealer item or can I go to any parts store?

I would get them from a parts supplier like Partsguyed or Riffraff... I personally would try to stick with OEM stuff for the gaskets or harnesses. Chances are you will not need to replace them.
