AH15.20-P-0001-01A Notes for ceramic glow plugs
In order to prevent damage to the engine, it is important to observe the following information concerning ceramic glow plugs:
^
Ceramic glow plugs are very sensitive to impact shocks. Impact shocks cause invisible damage (hairline cracks) to the ceramic glow pin and lead
to engine damage.
^
It is not possible to check the ceramic glow pin for mechanical damage (e.g. hairline cracks).
^
Only use ceramic glow plugs if the packaging is original and unopened.
^
If the ceramic glow plugs have been dropped, it is essential that they be replaced.
^
Only check glow plug with Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS).
^
The glow plug must not be energized with 12 volts otherwise it can be destroyed.
