Glow Plug Question

[lmichael]

Are glow plugs to be considered a "regular" replacement like spark plugs on a gasoline engine? IOW replace at regular intervals? Or simply on an as needed basis

 

[Roadworthy]

They are replaced when they burn out, much like a light bulb.

As needed (not a maintenance item) BUT if all are of the same age....might as well do all at the same time.

Yeah so one goes just replace them all

Assuming all are the same age, yes. The thought being....the others can't be far behind the first failed unit, they aren't expensive and you are right there doing the work anyway.

I wouldn't do that with 'injectors'.....but glow plugs, yes.
