About this product

When glow plug performance matters, the MOTAQUIP VGP228 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]: Rubber V, Length [mm]: 106, Rubber mm, Thread Size: M10x1, Spanner Size: Brass, Tightening Torque [Nm]: EPDM Nm. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. This part supersedes original equipment references: 0 100 266 002, 0 250 402 002, 1223 0035 934, 13 721 118 and 14 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?

Difficulty: Moderate DIY.
