Operation: Why do diesel engine glow plugs need to be replaced periodically?

In this video, we see the reasons why glow plugs in a diesel engine need to be checked and replaced periodically, without waiting for them to break: first of all, the good condition of this component is essential for the regeneration of the particulate filter. When one of the glow plugs burns out, it is recommended to replace all four of them anyway, because the age of the components is the same for all of them, and it is predictable that the others may also break or burn out shortly, so when one is changed, it is better to change them all. Also, regular maintenance is very important to prevent the electrode at the end from burning and breaking inside the engine: then it becomes a problem to recover it with extended times and costs.
