§ OE-quality MEYLE control units and glow plugs
§ 60 repair kits to fit Mercedes, VW, Citroën, Peugeot and Opel models are as of now available
Hamburg, 01 July 2015.
As the only aftermarket supplier Wulf Gaertner Autoparts is to launch a
range of approximately 60 glow plug repair kits to fit Mercedes Benz,
VW, Citroën, Peugeot and Opel models. Hitting the market in July 2015,
these innovative full-service kits come complete with the control unit
and three to six glow plugs – hence all parts required for time- and
cost-efficient repairs.
Most
control unit failures are triggered by excessive current resulting from
a defective glow plug and manifest themselves in the form of poor
vehicle starting behaviour and engine roughness, frequently causing
exhaust emission levels to exceed permissible limits. Vehicle
manufacturers recommend that the glow plugs always be replaced along
with the control unit to prevent a defective glow plug from damaging the
new control unit too.
Dedicated
to offer value-added repair solutions, Wulf Gaertner Autoparts has
developed a range of approximately 60 full-service MEYLE glow plug
repair kits designed to fit approximately 2,000 vehicle applications.
Available from July 2015, these kits contain the control unit along with
three to six glow plugs, depending on the vehicle model. The MEYLE kits
come complete with all parts required for time- and cost-effective
repairs.
Glow
plugs are wear-and-tear parts and should be replaced every 80,000 to
120,000 kilometres. MEYLE glow plugs are engineered to perform even at
sub-zero temperatures: they start glowing at the tip, then voltage is
reduced, allowing the engine to start faster while going easy on the
battery and the environment.
