Glowplugs ?


Recommended Posts

When I recently got my used superb, the heater coil for the glow plugs always seemed to be on a long time when cold (i.e. About 8 to 12 seconds) and then five or six turns to start.

 

I have now installed new glow plugs and now it varies.

I start my car about same time every morning, similar weather etc. Some days it does as above, other days, light goes straight off and it starts first kick.

 

Any ideas what the problem may be.

 

Cheers all.

yes,

just make sure to mach code with your engine,

i believe there are two kind of this sensors (with 3 pin and 4 pin)

 

Does your temp gauge sits at 90 when engine is operating a while?

I have now replaced sensor and glow plugs and just the same. e.g. Yesterday morning, damp cool morning, light on 1 second and started 1st turn. Lunchtime, nice and hot day, lamp on about 15 seconds and about 10 turns to start. I will get it warm today and measure temp with autel.

 

To be continued.
