Hi,just got a 406 GLX TD estate 1998 S reg,the seller said it needed glow plugs and i've just phoned the local car spares and he asked if it was the xud engine.Can you enlighten me please.£20 for a set of 4,thought that was cheap.He said they were cheaper a few months ago at £16.

Yes - if it's a 406 and it's diesel-powered and it's from 1998 or before, then it's either going to be the 1.9 TD (engine code XUD9 TE/Y) or it's going to be the 2.1 TD (engine code XUD11 BTE)Brons wrote:Hi,just got a 406 GLX TD estate 1998 S reg,the seller said it needed glow plugs and i've just phoned the local car spares and he asked if it was the xud engine
No idea if that's the right price for a set of glow plugs or not; I've never bought one in my life

I tend to go for a well known brand such as Bosch Duraterms or NGKs as I've had bad experiences with cheaper plugs.
I paid £32 for a set of 4 NGK Y-924Js at its last service.
The XUD engines are great, congrats on the purchase

I took a mate with me to give it the onceover before i got it,it was advertised as needing glow plugs,it started ok but only on three,the forth cylinder came in about 5 seconds later,they both said it was the hard to get at fourth one.It was the same yesterday morning,I hav'nt tested them,or should i say i hav'nt had them tested.I was going to have a search on how to do it later on.
