Good evening.

I'm having a problem.

I was just about to change the spark plugs and I bought some new BERU ones, which have the following number on them:
059 963 319J

I took out an old one, but the glow stick is shorter icon_eek.gif.
The following number is on the old 059 963 319E.

Can I install them now, or will the pistons hit something at the end? icon_confused.gif

According to the eBay seller, they are all the same.
03L 963 319
03L 963 319A
059 963 319
059 963 319C
059 963 319E
059 963 319F
059 963 319J
059 963 319M

Confused greetings from the garage.
Chris.

According to Beru http://beru.federalmogul.com/de/e-catalogue/part-number,

Are the spark plugs identical and compatible with the GE115?

Assuming they are genuine replacement parts and not fake, it should fit. icon_smile.gif

It still might not hurt to manually rotate the engine once after screwing in the new glow plugs. icon_wink.gif
