Are all the glow plugs the same in a 2011 Sportwagen TDI or is there a pressure sensing plug? My engine is stumbling at low idle. The Beru plugs look like a good replacement option.

Thanks for any assistance.

I believe 2 are pressure sensing. I had a few replaced under warranty. P0420 code as I recall?

according to idparts description all the glow plugs in that engine are pressure sensing. Different story for 6 cylinder TDIs

When my 2 were warrentied out. I was told (dealership) 2 were pressure sensing 2 were not. My code called for the 2 pressure sensing gp's. :unsure:
