Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. Compatible with ALFA ROMEO, ASIA MOTORS, AUDI, BERTONE and 29 other makes vehicles; use the vehicle selector above to confirm exact fitment for your make, model, and engine variant. Fitment data is sourced from TecDoc, the authoritative European parts catalogue. This part supersedes original equipment references: 0K04S18140, 0K04S-18-140A, 0K05418140, 0K05818140 and 21 more. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function.

Glow Plug buying guide

Why replace this part?

Glow plugs pre-heat diesel combustion chambers to ensure reliable cold starting and clean combustion on startup. Worn glow plugs cause difficult cold-weather starting, white smoke on startup, and increased wear on starter motors.

Signs you need a replacement

  • Difficult starting in cold weather
  • white or blue smoke on cold start
  • glow plug warning light staying on
  • engine misfiring during warm-up
  • increased starter motor cranking time

When to replace

Every 60,000–80,000 miles or when cold-starting problems develop. Replace all plugs as a set — a single failed plug causes uneven cylinder temperatures.

Installation difficulty:Moderate — requires basic tools and mechanical knowledge

How do I know when to replace my Glow Plug?

On diesel engines: difficulty starting in cold weather, excessive white smoke from the exhaust on startup, rough running until the engine warms, the glow plug warning light staying on, or one cylinder misfiring when cold.

What tools do I need to replace a Glow Plug?

Tools needed: 10mm hex deep socket for glow plug, torque wrench (10-15 Nm), penetrating oil (apply 24 hours before removal on high-mileage engines), glow plug extraction kit (for seized plugs). Difficulty: Moderate DIY. Safety warning: Apply penetrating oil well in advance on older diesel engines -- forced removal of seized glow plugs snaps them in the cylinder head, requiring specialist extraction. Never over-torque replacements.
