BERU releases glow plug technical information brochure
Ignition specialist offers technical support on glow plugs and highlights common failures and cures in new document
Bradford, 21st July 2015… Federal-Mogul Motorparts, a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: FDML), has released a technical brochure on glow plugs from its ignition brand, BERU®. The brochure explains how glow plugs work, the different types of glow plugs available and offers various workshop tips for these ignition components.
In one section, the document details the common reasons why glow plugs fail and suggests possible cures. For example, often when a glow plug stops working, folds or dents can be seen on the failed heating rod. Federal-Mogul advises that the cause of this issue can be down to a faulty relay that supplies the glow plug with power for too long. This can be corrected by checking the preheating system and replacing the glow time relay.
“Federal-Mogul is dedicated to providing one of the highest standards of technical support to our customers,” says Jonathan Allen, Regional Marketing Manager of Federal-Mogul Motorparts. “As ignition systems become ever more complex it can be increasingly difficult to identify the true cause of an issue. The brochure helps workshops investigate and diagnose what caused the failure and suggests an appropriate cause of action. This handbook can help our customers to reduce vehicle downtime and improve profitability.”
BERU is at the forefront of ignition technology development which is able to manufacture Pressure Sensor Glow Plugs (PSG), which helps vehicle manufacturers to meet current emissions regulations. The brand has a comprehensive range of ignition products including, spark plugs, ignition coils, glow plugs, diesel instant start systems (ISS), ignition modules and control units.
