Buying & Fitting Guide

Accepted Answer

To ensure that you get the correct glow plug, it is best to check the size and shape of the one currently installed so you can compare with the listed plugs. Some important information for selecting the correct glow plug is the type of needed (metal/ ceramic), fitting depth, length and thread size, voltage (V), resistance (Ohm), overall current (A), port type, climate condition, transmission type and date limitation of the unit. As car manufacturers regularly update certain peripherals and design of their models, some glow plugs will only be suitable for particular models of certain years.

Question 4

Helpful Tips

Accepted Answer

Glow plugs don’t require replacement very often, they can go years and many miles before replacement is a must. However, most manufacturers would suggest having a replacement installed every 40,000km while type and condition of the glow plug is a key factor. Some key characteristics that indicate a glow plug change are; difficulty with starting your vehicle especially in cold weather, irregular excessive smoke emitted from the exhaust system and inferior overall performance. Mis-firing glow plugs can also have an adverse effect on fuel economy too, that’s why we recommend having your plugs inspected at minimum 20,000km.
