Volkswagen Glow Plug Duraterm
The glow plug is a heating device used to aid starting diesel engines. Diesel engines do not use spark plugs to induce combustion. The whole process of generating the power needs a very high temperature. The amount of pressure required to heat the air to that temperature necessitates the use of a large and very strong engine block. During cold weather and winter, if the engine has not been running for quite sometime it leaves the large engine block very cold. When that happens, any attempt to start is not successful because it cannot generate enough heat for the fuel to ignite. The large and cold engine block dissipates the heat fast. One common way of over coming this is thru the glow plug.
The glow-plug is a pencil-shaped piece of metal with a heating element at the tip. The heat generated by the glow-plugs is directed into the cylinder which serves to warm the part of the engine block immediately surrounding the cylinders. The VW glow plug duraterm you have will make a difference when you start your car on a cold morning day without any delay. Chilly mornings and morning drive does not really go together because you really have to wait awhile before you can start your engine. The glow-plug duraterm then represents a very important component in your vehicles operation and thus should be kept well maintained.
