  • Glow Plug colour

    Hey all,

    Quick Question....should the tip of a correctly working glow plug be black and sooty or relatively clean??

    Cheers
    Nigel

    Everything inside a diesel is sooty

    You test them with a multimeter. Approx 0.72 OHM @ 20 degrees celcius for both the 1kz or 1KD.

      There is an article in the latest 4WD Action mag where a diesel apprentice has written in talking about a Prado (no model given) where the glow plug tip broke off and destroyed the engine!

      My 2004 has done over 190,000 clicks. Should I be replacing the glow plugs when I replace the injectors (both original as far as I know) and if so is this a DIY task?

        I read this too - got me a bit concerned, although my Prado has only done 110,000kms, or so...

        Hopefully someone has an answer on how often glow plugs should be periodically replaced.
