A glow plug is essentially an electrical heating element installed within the combustion space. By elevating the temperature of the air within the combustion chamber the glow plug promotes easier cold starting, improved driving performance from cold and a significant reduction of unwanted emissions. Unlike a spark plug a glow plug usually works for a short period of time upon starting the engine however more stringent emission regulations often require significantly longer periods of operation. Diesel engines have evolved considerably over recent years and so has glow plug design. This means that we now stock around 150 different part numbers with several major design differences. Although performance criteria differ greatly they are all manufactured to the same demanding standards.
