Glow Plugs






Glow Plugs

CAUTION!
The ceramic glow plugs are very sensitive to impacts and bending.

For this reason, do not use sheathed element glow plugs which have dropped (even from a height of approximately 2 cm) under any circumstances, even if no visible damage can be detected.

Installation instructions must be performed in sequence, otherwise there is a danger the plug breaks and will cause damage to the engine.
