What is a Glow Plug?

The glow plug works slightly differently than spark plugs used in petrol engines. Diesel cars use cylinder pressures to get the engine going. Glow plugs create heat that is needed to warm the air in the combustion chamber, which ignites the fuel and creates combustion. Glow plugs are critical to cold starts in diesel engines, so it’s important they’re working correctly.

Signs your Glow Plugs need Changing

Glow plugs can fail just like spark plugs and are susceptible to wear and tear. If your diesel-engined vehicle is taking a bit longer to start, it might be time to replace your glow plugs. If further repairs are needed, we also offer glow plug relays and glow plug auxiliary heaters that might come in handy.
