Visual Characteristics of Ceramic Sheathed Element Glow Plugs


Ceramic sheathed element glow plugs are susceptible to shock and bending. For this reason, do not use sheathed element glow plugs which have been dropped (even from a height of approximately 2 cm) under any circumstances, even if no visible damage can be detected. Always follow the installation instructions in sequence. Otherwise the glow plug could break and cause other damage to the engine.
