Title: Glow Plugs
Post by: Elite Pete on 20 October 2012, 11:37:17
I'm going to be changing the glow plugs on both my DTi's before the weather gets too cold and I have a choice of plugs. The last lot I bought were NGK but I only had them in a year so was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

The one's i've looked at are

NGK at £30.91 a set
Denso at £32.96 a set
Bosch at £39.00 a set or
Bosch Duraterm at £47.25 a set

I've just started with the plusgas so hopefully in a couple of weeks time the plugs should come out ok, fingers crossed ::)

Last set I bought were about £36 for the set from VX. Not sure who makes them for VX though.

That sounds good to me ;)

I fitted a set of Bosch Duraterm plugs to my Mk2 Golf last year, and I have been very impressed with them.  Have only ever needed to cycle them once, even on very cold mornings, and she always fires on the button.  :y

They are expensive though...  :-\

Pete. Thoroughly warm the engine with a run or tick over. They come out a treat :y :y

I've always used NGK Pete, with no problems thus far. :y
Around 28-30 quid per set - and that's 6 on a TD! ;)
