1986 Mercedes-Benz 300SDL Glow Plugs

Starting a diesel engine? Check out Autolite glow plugs. They’re dependable and long-lasting, the perfect plug for a variety of diesel applications.

Product Features:

• Diesel engines depend on high heat in the combustion chamber to ignite the fuel. When you cold start a diesel engine, there isn’t enough heat to ignite. Glow plug warms the combustion chamber to start the fuel ignition.
• These glow plugs fit a variety of diesel applications. If you’re experiencing problems starting your diesel engine, it may have burnt out glow plugs.
• Reaches temperatures hot enough to start in 30 seconds or less
• For dependability and long-lasting performance, use Autolite glow plugs

The Dependable Glow Plug for Diesel Engines of Older Generations (Type GV) In older generations of vehicles, the glow plug is only used for pre-heating and heating during starting (2-phase heating); once the engine has started, the glow plug is switched off. BERU 2-coil sheathed glow plug: reliable cold starting in only 5-7 seconds.

Product Features:

• Sheathed glow plug in 2-coil technology
• Reliable cold starting
• Short pre-heating time (5-7 seconds depending on vehicle!)

Designed, tested and manufactured to original equipment standards, this high-quality, direct fit OE replacement glow plug offers exceptional quality. Features ultra-fast warm-up, unbeatable cold engine performance and reduced pollutant emissions.

Product Features:

• 11 Volt, 176 watt electrical rating
• M12 x 1.25 thread
• Ultra-fast warm-up
• Unbeatable cold engine performance

High-tech glow plugs, pre-start and post-glowing (type GE, type GN) Diesel starting is now quicker, more reliable and more environmentally friendly. BERU is one of the leading manufacturers of glow plugs in the world – and inventor of numerous innovations in Diesel cold start technology The latest diesel car engines are equipped with the innovative three-phase glow technology (pre-heating – heating during starting – post-heating). This means: the glow plug not only heats prior to and during the starting phase, but also up to 180 seconds after starting. This protects the environment and the engine. BERU offers 3-phase glow plugs of the GE and GN type. GE and GN glow plugs in 2-coil technology have not only a heating coil to maintain the optimal heating temperature, but also have a regulator coil that effectively protects the glow plug from overheating. In this way BERU glow plugs are extremely reliable and durable. The GE glow plug is a performance-optimized, controlled glow plug used in engines of the latest generations. The fast heating of the glow plug and the controlled operation are provided by a programmable micro-controller in the glow time control unit.

Product Features:

• Super quick start glow plugs in new, slim shape
• Extremely short pre-heating time: from 2 seconds
• Reliable starting (even at -30C)
• Can be used for post-heating, as a result environmentally friendly: up to 40% less pollutant emissions during the warm up phase
• No more cold start knocking
• Quieter engine running
• Protects the engine during starting

Bosch Duraterm Glow Plug Technology With a long history of diesel fuel injection expertise and innovation, Bosch leads the way in glow plug technology with its patented Duraterm dual-control coil design. This technology utilizes a self-regulating system that reduces glow wait time by more than 50%. The patented dual control regulating and heating coil system effectively directs current draw, enabling the glow plug to reach higher temperatures more quickly for faster engine start-up. For vehicles with a post-glow control system, this advanced technology results in a post-glow heating phase which allows for more efficient overall engine performance.

Product Features:

• Glow plug reaches higher temperatures more quickly for fast engine start-up
• Regulating coil controls current draw for rapid heat-up of heating coil
• Heating coil provides rapid heat-up of the glow tube and quick start-up
• Glow tube material resists corrosion and vibration for long service life
• Fine-grained ceramic insulating powder provides superior electrical insulation and high thermal conductivity
• Twin Viton seals protect coils from exhaust gas damage for long life
• Connectors designed to OE specifications precise fit and easy installation
