About this product
When relay glow plug system performance matters, the BorgWarner (BERU) GR031 delivers — built to the same dimensional and material standards as the original part it replaces. The part is built to the following specification: Voltage [V]: Zinc V, Glow Plug Design: CNG, Post-glow time [s]: 180 s, Pre-glow time [s]: Plastic s. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. Compatible with VW 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: 0 281 003 099, 132061, 132062, 132063 and 23 more. Matching these numbers confirms a like-for-like replacement with no loss of function.

All parts are sourced from authorised distribution channels and carry full manufacturer traceability — you receive exactly the same component supplied to professional garages and dealer workshops.
