Understanding the Volkswagen Taro Glow Ignition System

The Volkswagen Taro is a robust pickup that requires a reliable electrical lighting and glow ignition system to ensure efficient starting and operation, especially in colder climates. The glow ignition system is crucial for diesel engines like those found in some Volkswagen Taro models, as it preheats the engine's combustion chambers, enabling easier and smoother starts.

Components of the Taro's Glow Ignition System

The glow ignition system in your Volkswagen Taro consists of several key components, including glow plugs, a glow plug relay, and the necessary wiring and connectors. Each part plays an integral role in the functionality of the system. Faulty glow plugs or a malfunctioning relay can lead to hard starts, increased fuel consumption, and even engine damage over time.

Signs of a Failing Glow Ignition System

Some common signs that the glow ignition system in your Taro may need attention include difficulty starting the engine, particularly in cold weather, and the presence of the engine management light on the dashboard. Should you encounter these issues, it's crucial to inspect the system and replace any failing components promptly.

How does a Glow Plug Ignition System Work?

The glow ignition system for diesel cars relies on glow plugs, which heat up and ignite the fuel and air mixture inside the engine and start the vehicle. 

Glow ignition systems are especially important whenever the temperature is low, or when the engine is starting cold, and the car may not be able to start at all in winter if any of the parts are faulty. 

So, if you’re experiencing ignition problems, you’ll need to check and repair it as soon as possible.

What does a Glow Plug do?

Glow plugs are like spark plugs but they only are used in diesel cars and vans due to the different ways they work. 

A glow plug operates by heating incoming fuel and air to deliver efficient fuel combustion in a diesel engine. The glow plugs light will indicate that they are warming up before you can start the engine. Fuel combustion will then start your engine using the glow plug.  Like a spark plug, each cylinder has one glow plug.

What happens when Glow Plugs Fail?

Factors you might notice if your glow plugs fail:

  • Experiencing starting problems
  • A misfiring engine
  • Low performance of the engine
  • Poor acceleration

If you notice any of these symptoms with your diesel vehicle, you should start by changing your glow plugs to see if this gets your car back up and running.
