A 6-cylinder diesel engine typically has six glow plugs, with one glow plug per cylinder. These glow plugs are used to preheat the combustion chamber, facilitating easier starting of the engine, especially in cold conditions. However, some engines may have additional glow plugs for improved performance or redundancy, but the standard configuration is one per cylinder.
On a Ford Fiesta diesel 1.4, the glow plugs are typically located on the cylinder head, near the top of the engine. You will need to remove the engine cover (if equipped) to access them. Each glow plug is connected to the engine by a threaded fitting and usually has an electrical connector attached. Proper care should be taken when removing or replacing them to avoid damage.
It doesn't have any spark plugs but it does have 8 glow plugs.
A 6.5 Turbo Diesel engine typically has eight glow plugs, one for each cylinder. These glow plugs are essential for starting the engine, particularly in cold weather, as they help preheat the combustion chamber for more efficient ignition. Proper functioning of all glow plugs is crucial for optimal engine performance.
The Ford 7. 3L diesel engine came equipped with glow plugs to assist in getting the engine up to maximum compression to combustion efficiency. The glow plugs themselves are installed via factory drilled provisions into the engine's cylinder head banks.
There is one screwed into each cylinder from the top of the engine.

Be sure to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper removal and installation.
On a 2001 Ford F-350 with a 7.3-liter diesel engine, the glow plugs are located in the cylinder heads of the engine. Specifically, they can be found on the top of each cylinder, with the engine being a V8 configuration, resulting in a total of eight glow plugs. To access them, you typically need to remove the valve covers and the associated components to reach the plugs for inspection or replacement.

To change the glow plugs on a Citroen Xsara, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the engine cover if needed, then locate the glow plugs on the cylinder head. Use a suitable socket to unscrew and remove the old glow plugs, taking care not to damage the threads. Install the new glow plugs by hand to avoid cross-threading, then reconnect everything and the battery.
Glow plugs need electricity while starting the engine. After that, they do not use electricity, but stay red hot due to the heat of combustion and pressure within the cylinder.
