Terra Dog Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Do new glow plugs come with sealing washers or do I have to buy them seperatly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 glow plugs on Tdi engines don't have sealing washers, it's the injectors that need a sealing washer between injector & cylinder head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hmm, the glow plugs seal on a taper surface type thing look a bit like this \\____// it seals inside the head much closer to the glowing end rather than the screw that you see on top of the engine.
