What It Is
A set of 4 OEM glow plugs made by NGK, steel-cased with a ceramic tip, representing VW's latest update for BEW and BHW engines. These are 7V glow plugs, and they're a direct replacement for the 7V plugs some of these cars originally came with from the factory.
The Backstory on Why There's a "7V Updated" Version
VW issued a service bulletin at one point calling for a switch to 5V glow plugs (part number N10591607). Later, VW reversed that guidance in a subsequent reflash, known as the 28F6/T9 service bulletin, returning to 7V glow plugs. This set (N10591609) is the current, up-to-date part as a result of that history.
Compatibility Across ECU Versions
These glow plugs work whether or not your car has received the service bulletin updates:
Fitment
BEW and BHW engines.
