Glow plugs for Puma 2.4
Hi All

What are decent glow plugs for a 2.4 Puma engine? I’m looking at either Denso or Bosch so which would be the better of the two?

If you want OEM I’m pretty sure BERU are the supplier for the 2.4 and 2.2 Puma. Different plugs but same manufacturer.

If not using Beru the Bosch and Denso are good alternatives, I went Bosh for my 2.2 and they have been fine.

The key will sourcing from a reputable supplier as there are a lot of fakes out there.

Weirdly I have to +1 on the fakes. There is a whole underground industry making fake auto parts. Spark plugs and glow plugs are commonly faked to the extent that any good deal on ebay or amazon is almost certainly fakes. Which wouldn’t be an issue if they were made to the same standard but, of course, they are not.

I put Bosch on the other week. They were made in France ones.

Really not as bad job to do as I feared.

You want inlet gaskets too. I just bought them for a 2.4 transit. They were OE Elring.

The fuel rail bolts need to come off and be put back on before the manifold it bolted back on. The one nearer the front was tight to get a torx on. Had to use a loose one and spanner.

The bolts don’t fall out of the plastic manifold. The tiny nuts that hole the wire on the glow plugs. Don’t drop them! lol.

Smother cold starting!
