4 one for each cylinder
Some Rover diesel engines only have 3 glow plugs, visible from the front of the engine. In the area where the fourth one would normally be (right-hand cylinder, viewed from front) there is no hole in the engine to receive one.
how do i know when my glow plugs need to be changed in my vauxhall astra cdti
On a Land Rover Discovery TD5, glow plugs are located in the engine cylinder head, specifically in each of the five cylinders. To access them, you typically need to remove the engine cover and the intake manifold, as they are positioned directly above the cylinders. It's important to handle them carefully during maintenance to avoid damage, as they can be fragile and prone to breaking if removed improperly.
Well you would need to buy new glow plugs...$$$$
no
They are under the rocker cover. You'll need to replace the rocker cover seal aswel if your replacing the glow plugs.

youcannot test glow plugs thru the coneector on valve cover you need to actually test the glow plug
Under the valve cover at the top right of the injectors for ecah cylinder, need more ask!
Depends on which diesel you are talking about. A 1993 or earlier the glow plugs located outside edge of the heads below the valve cover. 1994 through early 2003, the 7.3 turbo diesel engines the glow plugs are located in the heads but under the valve cover. You will need to remove the valve cover to retrieve the glow plugs. Basically the non turbo diesels have the glow plugs outside edge of the heads. In all turbo diesels you have to remove the valve covers to get to the glow plugs.
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.
No they do not, After engine is running there is no need for glow plugs because there is enough heat in the cylinders to warm the fuel. The glow plugs are designed to heat up the cold diesel fuel on start up only. Actually glow plugs will cycle briefly after engine start up to keep the cold fuel from bringing down cyl temp until the engine warms up. A power stroke will keep glow plugs on for up to 180 sec. A chev will run considerably less I believe.
The Ford Transit 2.2 from 2006 typically requires four glow plugs, as it has a four-cylinder engine. Each cylinder has one glow plug to aid in starting the engine, especially in cold conditions. It's essential to replace all four glow plugs at the same time for optimal performance. Always refer to the vehicle's manual or consult a professional for specifics regarding your model.
