Fitment questions
Do Nissan Notes even have glow plugs?
Only the diesel-engined Notes have glow plugs — they are a diesel-only component used to pre-heat the combustion chamber for cold starting. Petrol-engined Notes (which make up a large proportion of UK cars, including the later e-POWER hybrid models) use spark plugs instead and never had glow plugs fitted. Before searching for glow plugs, confirm your Note is diesel-powered, which you can check on your V5C under fuel type.
Which Nissan Note diesel engines use glow plugs, and does the engine code matter?
The Nissan Note was sold in the UK with the 1.5 dCi diesel engine (a Renault-sourced unit, commonly carrying the K9K engine code family) in the first generation (E11, 2006–2013), and this is the variant that uses glow plugs. The engine code is the single most important detail when sourcing a used set, as different K9K variants can have different plug specifications. You'll find the engine code on your V5C or via a VIN check, and you should supply it to the breaker when requesting a quote.
Will glow plugs from a 2008 Note fit my 2012 Note?
Both a 2008 and a 2012 diesel Note fall within the first-generation E11 (2006–2013), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility if the engine codes match — the K9K unit ran throughout this generation. However, there were running production changes to ancillary components during this period, so you should confirm fitment with the breaker against your exact registration and engine code rather than assuming all E11 diesels are identical.
Is there a second-generation Nissan Note, and did it come with a diesel engine in the UK?
The second-generation Note (E12) was sold in the UK from around 2013 onwards, but UK market versions were predominantly petrol or later the e-POWER self-charging hybrid — a diesel variant was not widely offered in the UK for this generation. If your Note is an E12, it almost certainly uses spark plugs rather than glow plugs; confirm your fuel type on the V5C if you are unsure.
Does the trim level affect which glow plugs I need — for example, does an Acenta need different plugs to a Tekna?
Trim level makes no difference to glow plug fitment — Acenta, Tekna, Visia, and any other trim on a diesel Note all use the same engine, so the plugs are the same across trims. What matters is the engine code, not the badge on the tailgate. Focus your search on matching the engine code rather than the trim name.
How many glow plugs does a diesel Nissan Note need?
The 1.5 dCi (K9K) engine in the Note is a four-cylinder unit, so it requires four glow plugs — one per cylinder. When sourcing from a breaker, it is worth asking whether all four are available as a set, since used plugs vary in condition and mixing old and new plugs of different ages is generally not recommended.
