1KZ GLOW PLUGS - falling apart - PERMANENT ENGINE DAMAGE

So this is old news for some, but just as important as injectors on a 1kd, they take engines out!
Just a bit of a wake up call. Awareness, tell your friends before its too late.

1kz GLOW PLUGS

The tips fall apart & once in the combustion can cause permanent engine damage.
We recommend you change them out every 100,000k.

Do 'em with the injectors, it's not much of an expense (compared to a set of 1KD injectors and glowplugs)

Yes correct, you would be crazy not to change them while doing injectors.
The 1kz you can push them out longer than 100k for injectors. No risk there. Just change/reco as required.

1kd economy pays or 1kd injectors and some.
Love the power & torque of the 1kd compared to the 1kz

Gings ####, I suppose 315,000k might be a bit overdue then? Original glow plugs and injectors. Starts, runs, does everything right. But that worries me.
Cheers for that,
Jamie
