they arent sparkplugs but glowsticks, they are mainly used when starting. they glow and get really hot so the diesel ignites better
YEah it’s funny, I saw this video first and then saw am seeing many of the driving videos. I just hope they bring it to the USA real soon. Told the Misses, well when Subaru makes this into a diesel, I’d buy one. Wouldn’t mind a Goldwing with a diesel flat 6 but this time give us a 6 speed trans pls. The GL1800 is fine but we’d get upwards of 60 mpg or better with a diesel. Wonder how hard it would be to put this engine in and older VW beatle or Baja Bug. Could be interesting. Bring it Subaru.
@alphawinger the diesel will last you longer then the petrol but theyre not indestructable
there is nothing called spark plug in Diesel engine, they have something called glow plugs, by heating the diesel to make it better to ignites.
@GTi and they only use the glowplugs in the cold weather, very reliable engines
@cameron20020
indeed, I am thinking to get a TDi car now, I dont know what car make to go for… any idea?
@ evanbatterman it’s not nearly the same engine. The TDI is an inline, and the Subaru is a Boxer.
@GTi just all depends i guess, like what you plan on doing with the car, obviously grab a hatchback if you’re worried about fuel and want to keep it light, or a sedan if you want to be able to take your friends out and have room for stuff on road trips.
best advice i can give you, is go to dealerships, try out cars, and see what you like best
@GTi I think it is worth saying that nowadays,glow plugs are been replaced gradually,and their job is done by the Central Processing unit.If you want to know further on this,visit howstuffworks
was i watching the lionking movie wtf
I would love to hear it running.
Glow plugs are controlled by the ECU, they are only use when the air temperature low and are only switched on for 10 seconds at the most then they are not used
@dan06tunnicliff Glow plugs are rarely used today on larger engines. The ECM senses ambient air temperature and retards the timing of the engine in cold weather so the injector sprays the fuel at a later time. The air in the cylinder is compressed more, creating more heat, which aids in starting.
All diesels sound like LOCK, LOCK, LOCK,LOCK
You obuiously don’t have an ear for such things. A boxer engine has a distinct sound of it’s own, regardless of whether it’s petrol or diesel .
First listen to it then argue. It’s the diesel combustion that produces that Lock, Lock sound. All diesels have it, some like newer Mercedes and VW TDI sound a little lower but none purrrs like gas engines, EVEN BOXER.
Here, I found one for you to hear. Go to this video, then to time 0:40 :
Subaru Boxer Diesel – a testdrive [Subeman version
I’d love to see the engine here in the USA. I’ll bet a Subaru Outback would get better fuel economy with a boxer diesel engine than it with a gasoline (petrol) boxer six engine.
Whats your point? In modern Diesel cars their barely noticeable.
The fuel is sprayed in when the pistol is at top dead center, so your theory that the injector sprays the fuel in at a later time is flawed.
@1ohtaf1 look at my other comments too,i said that this is only done in modern cars,when there is cold weather and only when you start the engine.The ECM retards the fuel injection so as the air to be compressed enough.Not a theory,a fact.
@MDIVISIONRULES hey dont blame me, its physics. Good Diesel Engines will inject the fuel at top dead center, so the air is as compressed as it can be, delaying the injection will mean the piston will be already in its downward stroke when the fuel is injected, meaning the presure would have decreased, meaning lower temps.
There’s no point, I was just telling Rinty145 how they sound like.
I love both Subarus(have 2, had 5) and diesels(had 5, mercedes and peugot) so I love to own a subaru boxer diesel. They should last 500,000 plus.
When will this engine be available for the U.S. market?
I want it!
5* not for subaru
just for TDI
