The manual also has that a bad Injector Spray pattern can cause early Glow Plug Failure.

What brand were the Glow Plugs that Failed.

You can make your own Reamer from one of the no good Glow Plugs. In the DIY section somewhere.
They are all used Bosch glow plugs. Mechanically they look fine, no stripped threads, no tip erosions etc.

How would a bad injector spray pattern casue early glow plug failure?
