The Bomag 05742469 Glow Plug is a genuine OEM component designed for BMP 8500 and BMP 8500 Kubota trench compactors. Sourced directly from Bomag, this glow plug meets the exact specifications required for dependable engine starting across the full BMP 8500 series. If your trench compactor is struggling to start in cold conditions or showing signs of a failing glow plug, this is the correct OEM replacement to restore performance and keep your machine ready to work.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Heat Output — matched to the precise temperature and voltage spec your BMP 8500 engine demands for consistent ignition, not an approximation
- Direct Engine Fit — engineered to install into the cylinder head exactly as the original, with correct thread pitch and tip geometry for a clean, leak-free seat
- BMP 8500 Series Coverage — confirmed fitment for both the BMP 8500 and BMP 8500 Kubota trench compactors
- Cold-Start Reliability — a properly functioning glow plug brings combustion chamber temperatures up to ignition threshold quickly, protecting the engine from hard-start stress and incomplete combustion cycles
- Fuel System Safety — a failed or underperforming glow plug can cause raw fuel to accumulate in the cylinder before ignition, increasing the risk of engine damage and uncontrolled starts; replacing with the correct OEM part eliminates that risk
A glow plug is a resistive heating element threaded directly into the diesel engine's combustion chamber. Before and during startup, it heats the air-fuel mixture to the temperature needed for combustion to occur — a critical role in diesel engines, which rely on heat rather than a spark to ignite fuel. When a glow plug fails or loses efficiency, the engine becomes difficult or impossible to start in cold weather, and even in mild conditions it can produce excessive white smoke, rough idling, and incomplete combustion that shortens engine life. Replacing a worn glow plug promptly with the correct OEM part, such as Bomag part number 05742469, restores clean, reliable starting and protects the broader fuel and engine systems of your BMP 8500 trench compactor.
