VH1911 01261A PLUG ASSY, GLOW For Kobelco SK200-8 SK210LC-8 Excavator

 

Product Overview

The VH191101261A Glow Plug Assembly is an electrically heated plug that screws into the cylinder head of your diesel engine. When activated (typically before and during cranking in cold conditions), its heating element rapidly reaches a high temperature, directly warming the air within the pre-combustion chamber or cylinder. This “pre-heating” significantly raises the air temperature, ensuring the injected diesel fuel vaporizes and ignites more easily, leading to a quicker, cleaner start. Our replacement plug is manufactured to meet exact OEM specifications for thread size, heating element resistance, and protrusion length, ensuring safe installation and optimal heating performance for reliable cold-weather operation.

Key Features & Benefits

• Direct OEM Fit & Performance: A perfect replacement for part number VH191101261A, guaranteeing correct thread engagement, proper electrical connection, and optimal heating characteristics for your J05E engine’s starting system.

• Ensures Reliable Cold-Weather Starts: Provides the necessary heat to facilitate quick ignition in cold temperatures, reducing cranking time, battery strain, and starter wear.

• Reduces Excessive White Smoke: Incomplete combustion during a cold start produces white, unburned fuel smoke. A functioning glow plug ensures cleaner combustion from the first crank, minimizing smoke emissions.

• Minimizes Engine Wear During Startup: Quick, clean starts reduce the period of fuel wash-down on cylinder walls and the time the engine runs with poor lubrication during cranking, extending overall engine life.

• Durable & Fast-Heating Element: Built with a robust heating element and sheath material designed for rapid heat-up and long service life under repeated thermal cycling.

• Easy Diagnostic & Replacement: Glow plugs are relatively simple to test for continuity/resistance. Replacing a faulty set is a straightforward maintenance task that dramatically improves starting reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the symptoms of a failing glow plug (VH191101261A)?
A: Common signs include:

• Difficult or extended cranking to start the engine, especially in cool or cold weather.

• Rough idling or misfiring immediately after a cold start.

• Increased white smoke from the exhaust upon startup.

• The glow plug indicator light on the dash behaves erratically or the system seems to cycle very briefly.

Q2: Should I replace just one glow plug or all of them?
A: It is highly recommended to replace all glow plugs as a set. They experience similar wear and age. Replacing just one may lead to uneven starting performance across cylinders and another plug failing soon after.

Q3: Can I test a glow plug before replacing it?
A: Yes. A common test is to measure its resistance with a multimeter. A reading of 0.5 to 2.0 ohms is typically good for most systems (confirm spec). A reading of infinity (open circuit) indicates a broken element and a dead plug. You can also visually inspect the tip for swelling or damage after removal.

Q4: Can I install this glow plug myself?
A: Yes, but caution is required. The job involves accessing the plugs on the engine (often under a cover), disconnecting the electrical harness, and using a deep-well socket and torque wrench to remove and install them. Overtightening can crack the plug or damage the cylinder head threads. It is crucial to follow the specified torque setting (usually quite low, e.g., 15-20 Nm). Applying anti-seize compound to the threads is often recommended.

Q5: Is this a genuine Kobelco OEM part?
A: This is a high-quality, OEM-compatible replacement glow plug manufactured to the exact specifications of the original VH191101261A part, ensuring the same fit, heat-up time, and durability.
