Warning - glow plugs

Post by bhodgkiss »

Just thought I'd share this one

A colleague at work with a 1.4TDI PD Audi A2, changed his glow plugs the other week.

He went online and was sent some replacement BERU items.

They turned out to be 5V and not 11V and literally melted the ends of the plugs instantly (down his driveway) and dropped bits of glow plug into the cylinders, causing various piston and bore damage.

Worth checking what you get sent if not buying for VW

We may not have the same confusion on the 1.9TDI's, but on the 1.4TDi the various different engine codes used different types.
