Fitment questions
Do Alfa Romeo 155 glow plugs only fit diesel engines, or do petrol models have them too?
Glow plugs are a diesel-only component — they pre-heat the combustion chamber to aid cold starting on compression-ignition engines. The Alfa Romeo 155 was offered with diesel engines (including the 1.9 TD units) alongside its petrol range, so glow plugs are only relevant if your 155 is diesel. If your car runs on petrol, it uses spark plugs instead — that is almost certainly what you need to be searching for.
Which engine code do I need to match when buying used 155 glow plugs?
The engine code is the single most important detail for glow plug fitment — different diesel units can use different plug types, threads, and voltages even within the same model. You can find your engine code on your V5C or by running a VIN check, and it is also usually stamped on the engine block itself. Give the engine code directly to the breaker when requesting a quote, as this is far more reliable than going by year or displacement alone.
The 155 ran from 1992 to 1998 — will early glow plugs from a 1992–1995 car fit a later 1996–1998 car?
The Alfa Romeo 155 ran as a single generation from 1992 to 1998, with a facelift arriving around 1995 that brought styling and some specification changes. Whether diesel glow plugs interchange across that 1995 facelift boundary depends on whether the engine code remained the same on both cars — if the codes match, fitment is likely, but ancillary and mounting changes mid-production mean you should confirm this directly with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Does the trim level affect which glow plugs I need for my Alfa Romeo 155?
Trim level has no bearing on glow plug fitment whatsoever — the plug specification follows the engine, not the badge or equipment level. Whether your 155 is a base, Twin Spark badged, or higher-specification variant, what matters is the engine code and fuel type. Focus entirely on matching the engine code rather than the trim name.
Can I fit 155 glow plugs from a car with a different gearbox — say a manual donor car onto my car?
Gearbox type does not affect glow plug fitment — these plugs are part of the engine itself and are completely independent of whether the donor or recipient car has a manual or automatic transmission. As long as the engine codes match between the donor 155 and your car, the gearbox difference is irrelevant. Confirm the engine code match with the breaker and you can disregard the gearbox entirely.
How many glow plugs does the Alfa Romeo 155 diesel need, and does that affect what I order from a breaker?
A diesel engine has one glow plug per cylinder, so a four-cylinder 155 diesel will need four plugs in total. When buying from a breaker, check whether they are supplying a full set or individual plugs, and make sure the quantity matches your requirement. It is worth asking the breaker to confirm the plug type and quantity against your specific engine code to avoid any mismatch.
