Understanding the Glow Plug Relay in Your BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo
The glow ignition system of a BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is a critical component for ensuring smooth engine starts, particularly in colder climates. Central to this system is the glow plug relay, an electrical component that controls the current to the glow plugs. When you turn the ignition key, the glow plug relay receives a signal to power up the glow plugs, which in turn heat the engine's combustion chambers to facilitate starting.
Signs of a Faulty Glow Plug Relay
A failing glow plug relay can lead to difficulties in starting your BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, especially during cold weather. Common symptoms include the engine cranking without starting, or experiencing longer than usual start times. It's important to address these issues promptly to maintain the reliability of your vehicle's electrical lighting and ignition systems.
Choosing the Right Glow Plug Relay for Your BMW
When selecting a replacement glow plug relay for your BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo, it is essential to choose a part that is compatible with your vehicle's specific model and year. Using the correct relay ensures that the glow ignition system operates efficiently and prevents potential damage to other electrical components.
Installation and Maintenance
Replacing the glow plug relay in your BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo should be done with care. While some car enthusiasts are comfortable with DIY repairs, it's often best to consult a professional mechanic to ensure the job is done correctly. Regular maintenance checks can also help identify potential issues with the glow plug relay before they become more serious problems.

What is a Glow Plug Relay?
Glow plug relays are a part of the ignition system in diesel cars. When you turn the key in the ignition, the glow plug control unit analyses input from the ECU to determine the timings and currents required by the plugs in order to start the car. The glow plug relay then switches the current for the glow plugs on and off accordingly, causing them to heat up rapidly and ignite the fuel in the engine.
As an essential part of the glow plug ignition system, the relays must fully function at all times, especially during cold weather. Here, you’ll find a fantastic selection of replacement relays at competitive prices, so you can get your car working again for less. To find the right type for your car, just enter the registration number in the box above, and confirm the make and model.
Please note that in some diesel vehicles (especially older models), the glow plugs may be spread across two circuits with two glow plug relays, so check how many you need before buying.
