About Glow Plug Sensor Diesels

Glow plugs are used in a diesel engine instead of spark plugs. The primary function of a glow plug is to produce heat in order to help with the start-up process in the engine unlike a petrol engine the fuel that's injected into a diesel engine doesn't need a spark to ignite it but when starting a diesel engine in cold conditions some extra help will be required which is where the glow plug system comes into action.

The Renault glow plugs sensor diesel is a temperature sensor that detects when the glow plugs/cylinder heads have reached the desired heat for ignition and this information is used by the glow plug relay to determine when to switch the electrical current to the glow plugs off.
Glow plugs are normally installed in the cylinder head and are wired up to the car's battery. The glow plug sensor is positioned on the cylinder head on the heater hose fitting.

It's important to ensure all components of the Renault glow plug system on your vehicle are in excellent condition and working well. Signs that there may be a fault with the glow plug system will be an engine that struggles to start or won't start at all. It's always a good idea to consult with your mechanic when engine problems strike to make sure the correct fault has been identified. There are a number of parts that could go wrong in the glow plug set up so making sure you have found the correct faulty part before buying replacement parts is advisable. When you need to change the glow plugs sensor, a good quality Renault glow plugs sensor diesel will guarantee a part that fits well, performs properly and has a long service life.

Renault trivia

  • The Renault 8 was the first production car to come with a four-wheel disc brake system, and in 1980 the company filed a patent for a ‘braking distribution device for total adherence’.
  • Louis Renault was sure that films were going to be big, so he agreed to let the Lumiere brothers use the Renault Type A in one of their first films. Now, Renault cars are seen in hundreds of films and TV shows every year.
  • The Renault seen in Indian Jones and the Last Crusade went up for auction in 2017. The car was seen in the exciting finale where Harrison Ford races on horseback to beat the Nazis to the holy grail. The car was valued at auction at just over £18,000.
  • The Royal family have always enjoyed a Renault, but the first royal sale was in 1905 when King Edward VII bagged himself a Landaulette. Our current monarch didn’t pay for one; however, they did receive a Renault Dauphine as a gift in 1957.
  • The Renault RS01 was dubbed ‘the yellow steam engine’ after it became the world’s first-ever turbocharged F1 car. It wasn’t a reliable car, but it was certainly quick!
