When it comes to glow plug replacement it always pays dividends to play it safe NGK glow plugs are renowned for their fast start, reliability, and ability to perform in the most arduous conditions... and with the changing and extreme weather that reliability spells customer satisfaction. As an indispensable part of the exhaust and emissions system, they are essential for maintaining low emissions and play a part in preventing the clogging of the exhaust gas recirculation valve and even help with the regeneration cycles of the diesel particle filter. Niterra UK, home of the market leading NGK portfolio says glow plug replacement should be part of the winter service and recommends that instead of changing one faulty glow plug at a time, workshops should look out for their customers by recommending a full set be replaced. If one plug has failed, it is extremely likely that the remaining plugs will suffer a similar fate shortly after, not only because the amount of wear will be similar throughout the set but that a struggling glow plug can be further stressed by the high performance of a brand-new glow plug. By replacing the full vehicle set the customer can see and feel the benefits straight away-starting and cold drive quality will be kept at optimum operation, fuel efficiency can immediately improve, and the customer will save what could be multiple trips to the garage. GLOW PLUG TIPS Removal and fitting As glow plugs are often installed in engines for many thousands of miles, they can be difficult to remove sometimes. If there is doubt that a glow plug can be removed without damage, then if accessibility, circumstances, and time permits, apply a penetrating oil around the glow plug and then a squirt of engine oil. The vehicle should continue to be used and tackle the job another day shortly after to allow the oil to penetrate and do its work. Remove the glow plug whilst the engine is still hot, following your work place’s health and safety precautions to protect your hands from high temperatures. To avoid damage to a new glow plug, follow the installation advice on the NGK packaging. Always install onto the taper seat by hand and do not over tighten the glow plug - or the terminal if the electrical connection is secured via a nut. Why you should fit-OE specification glow-plugs Avoid budget alternatives as the engine management system can quickly detect the performance is not within the correct parameters for the application, leading to a range of fault symptoms for the vehicle owner. All NGK glow plugs are engineered to match or exceed OE specifications. It pays dividends to choose our OE quality glow plugs for an aftermarket service to ensure the fitting and performance is the correct specification to the vehicle.
