A used glow plugs that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
Yes, but only on the diesel variants of the Qubo – the 1.3 MultiJet and 1.6 MultiJet engines are diesels and do use glow plugs as part of their cold-start system. If your Qubo is petrol-engined it will not have glow plugs at all, as petrol engines use spark plugs instead. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm your fuel type and engine code before ordering.
The Qubo ran as a single generation from 2008 to 2021, with a facelift arriving around 2013–2014, but the key fitment factor is the engine code rather than the model year or facelift status. A 1.3 MultiJet from a pre-facelift car and the same engine code in a post-facelift car may well share the same glow plug, but you should confirm the exact engine code with the breaker before assuming they cross over, as specification changes can occur mid-production.
No – trim level makes no difference to glow plug fitment on the Qubo. Whether your car is in Active, Dynamic, or any other trim, glow plugs are determined entirely by the engine code and fuel type, not by the badge or interior specification. Tell the breaker your engine code (found on your V5 or via a VIN check) and they will be able to match the correct part.
The 1.3 MultiJet is a four-cylinder engine, so it has four glow plugs. In principle, glow plugs from another 1.3 MultiJet-engined vehicle with the same engine code could be compatible, as this engine was used across several Fiat and PSA group models. However, confirm the exact engine code with the breaker rather than assuming all 1.3 MultiJet units are identical, as there were different output and emissions variants over the years.
The Qubo shares its platform and 1.3 MultiJet or 1.6 MultiJet engines with related Fiat group vehicles, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility with the same engine code from a donor vehicle. That said, you should always cross-reference the engine code stamped on your block (or listed on your V5) with the breaker's donor vehicle to verify a match before purchasing. Never rely on model name alone to confirm fitment.
Failed glow plugs are a common cause of hard cold-starting and rough running on MultiJet diesel engines, so it is a reasonable thing to investigate. A breaker can supply a used glow plug or a full set from a low-mileage donor Qubo, and these are generally straightforward to fit without coding or ECU pairing. Give the breaker your registration and engine code so they can pull the right specification from their stock.
