Glow Plug System, Checking

CAUTION: The ceramic glow plugs are very sensitive to impacts and bending. For this reason, any glow plugs that have been dropped (even from a short distance of approx. 2 cm) must not be used under any circumstances, even if there appears to be no external damage. The installation instructions must be followed exactly, otherwise there is a dangerous risk that the plug may break and thereby cause engine damage.
