If you need to change your glow plugs would you replace with the ceramic 7V units, the Etecno 7V units or the 5V kit knowing that the ceramics are more efficient and last about 100K miles. This would be done at the timing belt change coming up.

Etecno1 7V - not fond of the potential of ceramic pieces in the combustion chamber.

I just replaced mine with the 7v from ID Parts, the only reason is, they are easier to find and more plentiful

I don't think that's an option - not really available unless you have some stashed somewhere.
