Spark plug firing order (Articles)

Hello!

Simple question that could probably also be answered through a search if I knew what to search for .

My Audi (ASB-TDI) is reporting a faulty glow plug via the diagnostic system – specifically, "glow plug 1."

Where is spark plug number 1 located?
Assuming the naming convention is consistent with the cylinder numbering, I need to know which cylinder is designated as number one.


Thank you very much .

Greetings,
Michael.

Vuck.

It's a V-engine.

Cylinder arrangement. The arrangement is a longitudinally mounted V6 engine located at the front of the vehicle, as viewed from the front (according to DIN 73 021). Power output. 3 6 2 5 1 4 The arrangement is a longitudinally mounted V8 engine located at the front of the vehicle, as viewed from the front (according to DIN 73 021). Power output. 4 8 3 7 2 6 1 5 The following numbering system applies to a general-purpose V8 engine (according to ISO 1204, ISO 1205, and DIN 6265).

For V-engines mounted at the front, it looks like this:

Damn.

3 6
2 5
1 4

front

Strong, thank you very much .

This is how counting is done according to the standard. However, very few people follow this method when it comes to V engines. Most people count the cylinders in a V engine diagonally (crosswise).

Damn.

5 6
3 4
1 2

front

Audi is present, but it complies with the regulations.

Caution

In the 2.8 TDI engine, with code AUH, found in the LT van, cylinder number 1 is located at the rear, near the timing chain housing. If you don't believe it, remove the injector from what appears to be the first (frontmost) cylinder and then check the error memory .

In Deutz tractor engines, the first cylinder is also located on the power output side.
