THE SYMPTOMS OF BAD SPARK PLUGS

WHY HYBRID AND ELECTRIC?

Spark plugs should always be replaced in sets to ensure they have the same electrical resistance, but are you aware of the symptoms of a bad spark plug?

The growing popularity of electric and hybrid cars signifies an urgent need for workshops and technicians to undergo specific training before carrying out maintenance, servicing or repair work. Hybrid and electric vehicle sales growth has been outperforming traditional fuel cars over the past couple of years. This market is seeing a significant increase, pure electric cars accounted for around 7% share of new registrations in 2020 (2% in 2019), whilst hybrid accounted for around 22% (9% in 2019). Working on Hybrid and electric vehicles requires specialist tools for the job. The Laser Tools range of tools and safety products for Hybrid and EVs have been developed in conjunction with leading UK car manufacturers and importers, to create a dedicated programme covering all aspects of workshop, vehicle and personal safety, as well as high voltage tools and test instruments.

PUT YOUR OEM TRUST IN HIDRIA GLOW PLUGS Diesel engines don't have spark plugs or an ignition system of any kind so it's up to the glow plugs to get the car going when the engine is cold or ambient temperatures are low. While there is no scheduled replacement interval for glow plugs, they do have a limited lifespan and are often forgotten about until they fail. The amount of heat which a glow plug produces diminishes over time and this causes the engine to become progressively harder to start in cold weather. For that reason it is advisable to replace the glow plugs every 40,000-60,000 miles. Hidria is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of original quality glow plugs and it is a premium quality product which is manufactured in Europe. The same product we sell in the Hidria boxes is exactly the same as the product supplied to many of the major vehicle manufacturers production lines across the European Union. LKQ Euro Car Parts exclusively offer the complete range of Hidria glow plugs for all car and light commercial vehicles. Customer first Use this guide with your customers if needed, and explaining the reasons as to why their spark plugs have failed and the actions that you recommend. By checking and changing where required, a customer's vehicle will benefit from, improved performance, better fuel consumption and reduced fuel costs, smoother performance and overall environmental benefits. Why check? Visual inspection of a customer's vehicle is key. Spark plugs should be checked and replaced, if necessary, at regular service intervals. We’ve teamed up with Bosch to create a useful guide of what to look out for when diagnosing spark plugs using the cause, effect and remedy process. From carbon fouling to melting electrodes this handy guide shows you what to look out for and how to fix the problem.
