1999 Mercedes-Benz E300D Ignition and Tune-Up Products

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
