Easily replace glow plugs, spark plugs and injectors

#Workshop

Glow plugs, spark plugs and injectors are in very hot and corrosive environments for long periods of time. As a result, they can corrode and seize up. If you then want to replace them, they can be difficult to remove.

The Injector and Glow Plug Dismantling Aid helps loosen stuck parts, while the Injector and Glow Plug Grease facilitates installation and future maintenance by protecting against corrosion and seizure.

What are glow plugs, spark plugs and injectors?

Glow plugs are used in diesel engines and have the task of reducing pollutants and engine noise during cold starts. As diesel engines do not have spark plugs like gasoline engines, the fuel-air mixture is ignited by the high compression in the cylinder, which leads to the mixture heating up. However, at cold temperatures, this compression is often not sufficient to ignite the mixture. This is where the glow plugs come into play.

Function: Glow plugs are heated electrically to temperatures of up to 1000 degrees. This additional heat preheats the combustion chamber, making it easier to start the engine.
Position: They are located in the cylinder head and protrude into the combustion chamber in order to heat the mixture there in a targeted manner.

Spark plugs, on the other hand, are used in gasoline engines and are responsible for igniting the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder by means of an electric spark. Without it, the mixture in the cylinder would not burn, as compression ignition does not work as it does in diesel engines.

Function: Spark plugs generate an ignition spark, which ignites the fuel-air mixture in the combustion chamber and thus starts combustion.
Position: Spark plugs are also mounted in the cylinder head and protrude into the combustion chamber. They are positioned so that they can ignite the mixture.

Injectors in diesel and gasoline engines are responsible for precise injection of the fuel into the cylinder. In both types of engine they inject the relavant fuel into the combustion chamber, where the fuel-air mixture is ignited by the spark plug.

Function: They ensure precise metering and atomization of the fuel. This increases the combustion efficiency and performance of the engine.
Position: They are also mounted in the cylinder head and inject the fuel directly into the combustion chamber.

Pro-Line Injector and Glow Plug Dismantling Aid

Easily loosen stuck glow plugs, spark plugs and injectors

Our Pro-Line Injector and Glow Plug Dismantling Aid is a special spray for stuck injectors, glow plugs and spark plugs. It infiltrates soiling and corrosion and allows for easy removal. Thanks to its very good cleaning properties, it effortlessly removes stuck-on oil residues, resin and dirt crusts.

Releases sticky and rusted parts
Effortlessly releases stubborn dirt
Makes easy dismantling possible
Dissolves rust

Use

Shake can well before use. Thoroughly spray the seized up parts to be removed and leave to act for 15 to 30 minutes. Spray again after 10 to 15 minutes and leave on for another 10 to 15 minutes. Then remove the dirt and remove the injectors, glow plugs or spark plugs. In case of extreme soiling, leave the solvent to act overnight. Repeat the procedure several times if necessary. In the event of extremely severe corrosion, pretreat the affected injectors with our Pro-Line Rapid Rust Solvent. If using on plastics: Before use, check the material compatibility at an inconspicuous point.

Pro-Line Injector and Glow Plug Grease

Install glow plugs, spark plugs and injectors in a way that protects them

Our Pro-Line Injector and Glow Plug Grease is a semi-synthetic, special metal-free grease for lubricating injectors, spark plugs and glow plugs before installation in the engine. It prevents the ingress of moisture and thus prevents injectors and glow plugs or spark plugs from corroding. The special grease makes dismantling much easier. It is also suitable for lubricating all types of highly stressed sliding surfaces and for separating temperature-stressed components such as injectors, spark plugs and glow plugs, pins and bolts.

Limited resistance to organic acids and alkalis
Excellent corrosion protection
Outstanding cold and hot resistance
Highest pressure susceptibility
Neutral towards conventional sealant materials
Non-toxic
Prevents baking and freezing up

Use

Before treatment with the special grease, the parts must be clean and free of residue, dirt and moisture. Apply the grease to the cleaned surfaces or threads with a brush or lint-free cloth. The amount needed will depend on use and application.
