How to Keep Your Engine Efficient Over the Years

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Engine

Video tutorial

As the engine of your vehicle is used, wear begins to occur. This leads to the accumulation of deposits, and even the injectors accumulate deposits, resulting in a loss of performance and increased environmental pollution.

For this reason, diesel engines have been fitted with a component known as glow plugs, which become incandescent during initial ignition to facilitate gas ignition, especially in cold starts. Over the years, glow plugs have evolved to optimise combustion and reduce noise, fitting deeper into the engine and being controlled by the ECU. Therefore, to prolong the life of your car, it is advisable to install the latest generation glow plugs, specifically the 6 m type.

The cost may be high, but your engine will benefit, and so will you. Another thing to keep in mind is to have periodic checks on the glow plugs and the engine of the vehicle.
