Tried to replace glow plugs after 60k mark but old ones had to go back.. ooh well
When I removed third (from left) different shape size I was surprised what the heck is this ..
Completely different glow plug from rest 3. I tried to replace the normal ones but even that was no good
The glow plug exactly same but couldn't screw it down fully .
Well I cleaned old burned plugs and put them back in now car starts even snappily .
So I have searched by part number the third glow plug and looks like this is some kind with pressure sensor.
Didn't have this in my old 2011 A3 ..
Has anyone experienced this? or know what pressure it actually measuring?
