Glow plugs

[wayne]

Im looking to change glowplugs on my 1.4 75hp. Which plug is best to use? Some listing different part numbers (was looking at ngk) is 5065 the right ones? Cheers

I am not 100% sure, but there are generally two types of glow plugs used - 11 Volt and 5 Volt that can't be switched. So model year and engine code are crucial informations. I personally use Bosch or Hella glow plugs.

I quite like Bosch. What ever you buy make sure they are marked 11v

The inside of my engine was messed up after I fit 5v plugs. They were supplied after I searched for parts using my reg.

And thats what I am saying - some engines use 5V, some 11V. For example my AMF uses 11V, but my 1.9 BRR uses 5V. And I am not sure but B series engines may use 5V glow plugs...
