Eyquem Glowplugs?

Anyone have any experience of said glowplugs? Apparently used by PSA as original equipment for certain models.

YES - Eyquem is the OEM original PSA spark plugs.
NEVER had any problems with Eyquem - except dealers not knowing the correct type for specific engines. Allways go by the owners manual - don't try "upgrade" to another type of spark plug.
In your area NiSk - Eyquem is available as originals from Biltema - w/o the Biltema logo [8D]
I've had a couple of problems with other brands - mainly because these do not allways have an exact matching substitution for the Eyquem types.

Thanks Anders,
I was unwary of Biltema's own glowplugs at only 49 SEK /each. Autofrance in Helsingborg sell Eyquem glowplugs for 80 SEK/each, but if thay are the same as Biltemas, why pay an extra 31 SEK? (and they're in the ame town!)

Well NiSk -
Here we are - a Dane giving a Swede advice in english writing about his own local dealers in Sweden [:D][:D]
BTW : SEK49 would be for a set of 4 standard plugs (ready packed) as I read the catalogue ????

Hmm unless its something else gone?

No, unfortuanately they cost 49:95 each. Which still isn't bad when you consider that Mekonomen (one of the largest independent retailers) charges 234:- EACH!

Heh - NiSk - [:D][:D]
You foiled me -
You need GLOWplugs - not SPARKplugs [:o)]
- then you use BERU - nothing else - also available from Biltema.
I WAS wondering why you suddenly needed sparkplugs - for your XM TD - but then again I thought you'd purchased a second car [:I]
