Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Spark plugs
Operation: Glow plug replacement instructions

One of the components that facilitate the cold start of diesel engines is the glow plug or more commonly known as a glow plug. Thanks to the thermal energy generated electrically and conveyed into the combustion chamber, ideal ignition conditions are created for the injected fuel. For engines with pre-combustion chamber it is absolutely essential for cold starting, in order to guarantee engine starting even in temperature ranges between +10 and -30 Â ° C. To replace the glow plugs it is advisable to disconnect the positive pole of the batteries: the glow plugs are in fact positioned in the front part of the engine, near the injectors and connected to each other in parallel by a cable with eyelets. Then unscrew the fixing nuts of the eyelets, unscrew and replace the glow plugs with new ones and reconnect the cable and the battery pole.
