Glow plug 1 fault P0671 part numbers and favorable brand?

[T6steve]

Hi All. I need to change Glow plug 1 but I might as well change all 3 and the pressure sensor one too while I've got the top stripped off. The usual car part sites are coming up with different part numbers that contradict each other. I don't want to be removing everything to find I have the wrong parts.
Anyone have a definitive part number?
Also, what's the go to brand? Bosch?

2015 T6
BMT

Which engine exactly?

Which engine exactly?

T28 TDI P/V BMT HIGHLINE 2L

T28 TDI P/V BMT HIGHLINE 2L

Sorry, I meant what's the exact engine code - found on configuration sticker under dash by steering column, or on service booklet.
Would be something like CAAA, CAAB, CAAC, CAAD, CFCA, CXGA, CXGB, CXHA, CXFA, CXEB, etc.
Unfortunately they all are 2 litre engines.

You needed to find your engine code.

Take a pic of the sticker under the dash.

T5.1: EU5 (sept 2009 to 2016)
2.0 TDI CR - CAAA 84ps
2.0 TDI CR - CAAB 102ps
2.0 TDI CR Blue motion - CAAD 114ps

2.0 BiTDI CR - CFCA 179ps - (EGR cooler issues pre rev D that can cause engine wear)(RevD EGR onwards are ok) (if you have a CFCA that's loosing coolant - get the van looked at immediately and tested for a leaking EGR cooler)

2015 T6

If it's T6 then must assume it's actually model year 2016 - thus VIN WV1ZZZ7HZG

And no cylinder pressure sensor on CAAB engines.

Would be different glow plugs on model year 2015 CAAB engine (T5.1)

It's was registered 29th Sept 2015
The VIN number is what you suggested so I presume it's a T6?

Yes T6, also in VW terminology model year 2016 vehicle = "G" in position 10 of the VIN.

One of the very early T6 Frankenstein vans.

With the t5.1 engine in it Euro 5.

I hope that's not a bad thing? It's served me well for the past 7 years with no major problems.
So that would explain why it's looks nothing like the "how to change glow plugs on a T6" video on here. I was well confused. I'll have a search for 5.1.
Hmmm, so am I ordering glow plugs for a T6 or a 5.1? Here's my engine
By the way, thanks for your help guys

That looks very different to my CXGB.

The engine looks in line - is it rear wheel drive?

I used Bosch glow plugs - just the 3 normal ones (error on #2)

It's a T5.1 engine,

In a T6 chassis.

One of the very early T6 vans that rolled off the production line..... Still using the Euro5 T5.1 engine.

So for your glow plugs, as @mmi shows above.

It's the T5.1 engine glow plugs.

And look on YT for the T5.1 CAAB glowplug change.
