    Hello bit of a newbie on here. Engine light lit up on my 2.0TDI 140 Passat 2015 (B8) took it to a local garage who plugged it in and stated that one of the glow plugs needs changing, advised to change all 4. Picked car up today and was told that one of the plugs was different to the other 3 and they did not replace it because they did not have one. They tested it and it was okay. so they left it in. My question is, are all 4 glow plugs the same or is one of them different? it does not sound right to me.

    Yes, number 3 is a special pressure sensing design on the latest CR engines, 03L 905 061 K and is only available from Beau as far as I know, at £104.15 from VW, they cost five times the price of a normal one. Allegedly forthcoming Diesel engines will use these on all four cylinders for more accurate fuelling control, great when they go wrong......

    Thanks Crasher, they did say if it played up in future they would change it but it would cost more than the three they just put in. Put my mind at rest thank you.
