Description
The Ford Focus C-Max CAP (2003-2007, EU) with 1.6 TDCi diesel engines (Duratorq DLD-416) uses glow plugs for reliable cold starts. The OEM part 1353268 (or Bosch 0250202022 equivalent) heats the combustion chamber to 900°C in 4-6 seconds, reducing cranking time and white smoke in Kenya’s cool mornings. These self-regulating ceramic plugs last 80,000-100,000 km or 2-3 years. Replace all four plugs to ensure even heating and prevent engine damage. TUV-certified, they integrate with the glow relay for automatic operation, ideal for the 1.6L diesel variant.
