Have you done a search? There was a thread on this a month or two ago. Make sure you spell the manufacturer name correctly.

Wow I just read some reviews and posts on other forums about this company, it seems as though this guy sells bad parts or has a bad reputation but either way I wont buy those glow plugs.
I want to do the job once right and not have to do it again for a very long time.

When I was still making the Glow Plug Reamers I bought the Taiwan Made Glow Plugs (I bought from Prothe) and used the body to mount the Reamer Bit in.

What is significant is that all I had to do was grab the Tube of the Heater tip of the Glow Plugs with a Pliers and pull it straight out of the Body. That tip is not held inside of the Glow Plug Body very well.

If you read the Horror Stories about having a stuck Glow Plug in those Aluminum Cylinder heads you might want to reconsider using them.

Maybe as a sticky thread there should be a wall of shame of all the bad and dishonest parts and service providers that the forum members here have used in the past and present that way we as members know who to buy parts from and have service work done.

FYI

The vendor is so bad, the TDI forum dedicated several threads to this creature.
