Glow plugs Seat Ateca 2.0 TDI (since 2016)

About this part

The glow plug heats the combustion chamber of diesel engines before starting and in the first minutes. Diesel ignites by compression, and with a cold engine that extra heat is needed.

They last a long time, often over 100,000 kilometres, but they fail one at a time. The signs are a slow cold start, white smoke in the first minutes and a flashing glow plug light. On modern diesels the glow plugs stay on after starting to reduce emissions and noise: a faulty one can be felt even with the engine already running.

Thread, length and voltage matter: modern glow plugs run at low voltage, controlled by a module. When one fails it is worth replacing them all, because the others are the same age.

This page is for the 2.0 TDI engine. Even with the same engine the part can change from one version to another - power, year, gearbox - which is why choosing the version remains the step that gives certainty.
