The Bomag 05576352 Glow Plug is a genuine OEM Glow Plug designed for Bomag BC-series refuse/landfill compactors and soil compactors, including the BC 772 RB, BC 972 RB, BC 1172 RB, BC 672 RB, BC 572 RB-2, BC 473 RB-4, and related variants across multiple generation suffixes. Sourced directly from Bomag, this glow plug matches the exact thermal output and thread specification of the original, ensuring correct cold-start performance with no guesswork on fitment. It is verified compatible with both the RB/RS refuse and landfill compactor models and the EB soil compactor variants — including the BC 772 EB-2, BC 772 EB-4, BC 672 EB-2, BC 473 EB-3, and BC 473 EB-4 — covering a broad range of BC-series machines. When a cold-start problem points to the glow system, replacing with a genuine part number 05576352 restores the engine's ignition reliability quickly and cleanly.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Heat Output — matched to the engine's exact preheat specification, delivering the thermal performance the cylinder head was engineered around, not an approximation
- Direct Thread-In Replacement — this glow plug installs into the original port with no modification, preserving correct torque and sealing against combustion pressure
- Broad BC-Series Coverage — fits refuse/landfill compactors including the BC 572 RB-2, BC 672 RB, BC 772 RB, BC 972 RB, BC 1172 RB, BC 473 RB-4, BC 772 RS, and BC 772 RS-4 generations, as well as BC 772 EB-2, BC 772 EB-4, BC 672 EB-2, BC 473 EB-3, BC 473 EB-4, and BC 473 EB-4 soil compactors
- Cold-Start Reliability — a functioning glow plug brings cylinder temperature up to ignition threshold before cranking; a failed plug causes hard starts, excessive cranking, and white smoke at startup
- Fuel System Safety — correct preheat timing prevents raw fuel from washing cylinder walls and contaminating engine oil, protecting the engine over the long haul
A glow plug is a resistive heating element threaded directly into the combustion chamber or prechamber of a diesel engine. Before the engine cranks, current flows through the plug to raise the air temperature inside the cylinder high enough to ignite diesel fuel without the compression heat that a warm engine already has. On large BC-series compactors operating in cool or cold ambient conditions, a working glow plug is essential for clean, reliable starts. When a plug fails — either by burning out internally or losing electrical continuity — the engine cranks without adequate preheat, leading to extended cranking cycles, misfires, and unburned fuel exhausting as white smoke. Replacing the plug promptly restores the cold-start cycle and protects the engine from the wear associated with repeated failed start attempts.
