Quality should be the main driver

NGK stresses the importance of changing all the glow plugs when one fails as it is likely that the remaining plugs will suffer the same fate as the faulty one being replaced. Replacing all at the same time will ensure the emissions target is met and also the starting and cold drive performance is kept at its maximum. The company is finding that vehicle manufacturers are specifying ceramic plugs rather than metal now – VMs to which recently use NGK glow plugs as original equipment include Fiat for its MPV and 500L Trekking and Volkswagen for the Golf VII. NGK also enjoys an ongoing relationship with Mercedes-Benz.
