Glow plug difference
« on: August 31 2023, 11:25 »
Mechanic put a Magneti Marelli glow plug in a VP MD2030a few years ago, I saw that it had the number UC59A on it, it lasted me two years and I was satisfied. Now he put some Febi and it only lasted half a year.

I looked in local stores and they don't have UC59A (cat. no. 062900077304), but they offer a similar one (UC46A cat. no. 062900063304), which according to the specifications is 0.5 mm longer. Could this difference do some damage to the engine?
