NGK glow plug | Y1067P, 91383

Niterra is the world leader in ignition and sensor technology. Car and motorbike manufacturers, dealers and workshops have been relying on the ignition specialist's expertise for decades. NGK glow plugs enable the diesel engine to start perfectly, especially at low outside temperatures. In modern diesel engines, the glow plugs do more than just ensure that the necessary ignition temperature is reached in the combustion chamber, the so-called pre-glow. Even when the engine is running, the glow plug is activated repeatedly, contributing to an optimum combustion temperature, which significantly reduces pollutant emissions from the engine. The glow plug also plays a key role in the regeneration of the particulate filter. By briefly increasing the exhaust gas temperature, it supports the regeneration of the particulate filter. A defective glow plug can therefore not only mean that the engine does not start in the morning, it can also lead to increased pollutant levels and make it necessary to replace the particulate filter prematurely. Unlike spark plugs, vehicle manufacturers do not specify any mandatory replacement intervals for glow plugs. It is therefore extremely important to regularly check and, if necessary, replace defective glow plugs, not only for the ignition, but also to protect other system components in the vehicle.
