Ok so ive been reading about glow plugs dropping tips into engines and freaking myself out so I did a search on this site and became utterly confused when trying to get new glow plugs for my 2003 kz te...there was no clear info. Apologies if i missed it.
i was looking at plugs on ebay and they all stated the following toyota equivalent part number
19850-67020...i rang Toyota just to check the part number and they stated 19850-67030...they also wanted $71 per plug too...get f*&%^*^d!
anyway panic ensues...er nobody is selling this particular one...argh what do i do? do i have to pay toyotas prices? Anyway a bit of digging reveals that toyota re-numbered this part to the 030 from 020. No idea why but i spoke to a couple of autoparts centres and they were confused too. Did a bit more digging and found a good forum post about this on the hilux surf site. Apparently the 020 ones and 030 are one and the same and all will work.
Also worthy of note...Alot of those guys have had trouble getting new glow plugs from a company VSP (the cheap ones) to fit due to carbonisation and a slight design difference in the cheap ones being too wide at the tip. They had no trouble with the bosch ones however. Im getting a set of the german ones and ill let you know how it goes...
to summarise for anybody else looking
Toyota part no. 19850-67020/19850-67030
VSP/HJK part no. CP 22
Bosch part no. GPT 225
Hope this helps someone...if im wrong someone else please let me know soon before i go putting the wrong thing in my engine!
