Title: Which glow plugs would you recommend?
Post by: larry104 on October 17, 2005, 08:43:25 am

I'm about to change glow plugs in a '92 Ecodiesel. Which brand/type would you recommend? Any to avoid? I'm leaning toward the Bosch Duraterms.  Assuming no wiring problems or leaky injectors, how long do glow plugs typically last? Thank you.

Can't go wrong with Bosch.

Plug life depends on many factors. If you power up the plugs repeatedly in a short period of time, it can shorten their lifespan so stay away from that if you can.
