Glow plug Perkins : Efficient start for your car without a diesel license

The Glow plug motor Perkins is an essential component on a car without a diesel license. It warms the combustion chamber before fuel injection, facilitating a fluid cold start and reducing the white smoke. A well selected glow plug helps preserve the engine, save fuel and improve comfort as soon as you start.

How does a preheating candle work Perkins

The diesel engine works by auto-Fuel inflammation thanks to compression. In this context, the Glow plug Perkins Heats the air and the walls of the combustion chamber before injection, allowing faster combustion and cleaner, especially when the outside temperature is low or after a long stop period.

Main roles

• Preheat the combustion chamber for faster start.
• Reduce white smoke emissions and unburned fuel odors.
• Decrease stress on the battery and starter.
• Optimize combustion for better efficiency.
• Keep the longevity of the engine components.

Engine specifications Perkins

A motor preheating candle Perkins Must respect precise standards: thread, length, electrical resistance, heating power. A poorly dimensioned candle may result in failed starts, inefficient combustion or mechanical damage. The pieces offered by Pro VSP for Perkins comply with standards to ensure error-free montage.

• Odor of unburned fuel or irregular combustion noise.
• Battery solicited, slow start or apparent weakness.

Visual or mechanical indicators

• Candle fouled, with carbon deposits or soot.
• Damaged threads or traces of overheating.
• Corroded or loose connectors or wiring.
• Resistance measured in the multimeter outside the tolerances.
• Unbalanced combustion in the first moments.

Diagnosis and maintenance of candles Perkins

Diagnose a preheating spark Perkins is simple enough for someone a little manual. This confirms the problem before replacing the parts.

Recommended steps

• Remove the candle for visual examination and cleaning if necessary.
• Measure the cold electrical resistance for each candle.
• Check the preheating relay and the power supply.
• Make sure the battery is in great shape to provide adequate current.
• Observe the engine behavior at cold start: smoke, time, stability.

Good maintenance practices

• Replace full game candles to ensure combustion uniformity.
• Clean connectors and terminals regularly to avoid performance loss.
• Preheat sufficiently before starting, especially in cold periods.
• Use Quality Candles in accordance with specifications Perkins.

Precautions to take

• Disconnect the battery before any intervention.
• Leave the engine cool.
• Use a suitable socket for not damaging the thread.
• Check that the new candle corresponds to the resistance values, length and thread of the motor Perkins.
• Apply the recommended tightening torque.

Test after replacement

• Check that the preheating indicator lights up and goes off normally.
• Start the cold engine to test the disappearance of symptoms.
• Observe the absence of white smoke or missed.
• Check idle stability after a few minutes.
• Check the connections after some trips.
