General Glow Plugs

[Les Holloway]

Hi
It seems that one of the glow plugs on our 115 JTD has failed.
Having looked at buying and replacing all four. It seems there are two different types listed for the 115 JTD.
Does it make any difference which ones are fitted?

Supposedly a right pain to get out...

I wouldn't bother, they're not needed for starting.
The JTD engines are 'Direct Injection', only Diesels with a 'Pre combustion' chamber really need glow-plugs.

Yep...my glowplug light has been flashing for 20 seconds after startup for 2 years now and its always started fine! (Runs to try and find some wood to touch)

I'm with BikeDoc on this.


I'm on the original gloworms at 180k miles. Occasional warning lights. Nothing else... #
