FAQs

What is the voltage of this Hella Glow Plug?

This Hella Glow Plug operates at 11 Volts.

What is the spanner size required for installation?

A 12mm spanner is required for installation.

Can I use this glow plug on a gasoline engine?

No, this glow plug is specifically designed for diesel engines.

How do I know if I need to replace my glow plugs?

Symptoms include hard starting in cold weather, rough idling, misfiring, and increased exhaust smoke on startup. A glow plug warning light on the dashboard is also an indicator.

How many glow plugs does my vehicle need?

The number of glow plugs typically corresponds to the number of cylinders in your diesel engine (e.g., 4 cylinders usually means 4 glow plugs). It is recommended to replace all glow plugs at the same time for consistent performance.

Are Hella glow plugs a direct replacement for OEM parts?

Yes, Hella manufactures its parts to OE-quality standards, meaning they are designed for direct fitment and to perform comparably to original equipment manufacturer parts for compatible vehicles.

What does 'Performance-Optimised Design' mean for a glow plug?

It means the glow plug is engineered to reach its optimal operating temperature quickly and efficiently, ensuring faster and more reliable cold starts for the diesel engine.

Troubleshooting

Engine misfires or runs rough, especially on startup.

This could indicate a faulty glow plug. Check the electrical connection to the glow plugs and test each unit for resistance or continuity. Replace any that are outside of specification.

Difficulty starting the engine in cold weather.

Worn or non-functional glow plugs are a common cause. Ensure the glow plug warning light illuminates on the dashboard when the ignition is turned on. If not, check the glow plug relay, fuse, and the plugs themselves.

Check engine light is illuminated.

A faulty glow plug circuit can trigger the check engine light. Connect an OBD-II scanner to read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) which may point to glow plug system issues.

  3. Disconnecting the power supply or wiring harness.
  4. Using the correct size wrench (12mm in this case) to carefully unscrew the old glow plug.
