Great video hitachi
Thank you!
For me the problem was the small plug that goes into the module, I fitted both new glow plugs and BERU relay with no success, later I discovered that the connecting wire can “melt” overtime, replaced it and all my issues finally gone.
P.s it is very easy to replace :)
Have you got a link for this wire please

Muy buen video. Me encanta Hitachi.
¿Podrían darme ustedes las medidas del escariador que sale en el video para un BMW E46?
Me hace mucha falta, por favor
Hola, buenos días, Por favor, pregunte a su distribuidor local de piezas para el escariador para el tamaño de la rosca de los calentadores del vehículo.
Does new diesel cars have relay or only control unit or both?
Hello, it depends on the manufacturer. But most of the cars have a glow plug control unit.
So you say, it would be mostly so good as beru, or even better? I would like to buy it for e46, 330d 150kw, m57tu engine. Will the glowing time and everything work so good, as with beru? Thanks for the answer
Hello Tamás Shevala,
thank you for your comment.
All functions of the original part are present.
The glow time will be the same.
We have also mechanically strengthened it, as you have already seen in the video.
Please check if BMW recommends to change the glow plugs on your car.
I have bought model number 450 11 0350 for a 2005 E90 2.0D. I had a beru unit which failed so I replaced the glow plugs and the unit for a second hand worked fine for a while then started throwing an error, not always coming on. I have now fitted the Hitachi unit and am getting an error on all four glow plugs that were replaced three weeks ago. This morning I got the glow plug warning light also.
Can you tell me what is wrong?
Hello Simon, could you please provide the VIN number of your car, glow plugs you bought and the Hüco part you bought to techsupport@hueco.com - we check it for you.
Why is this out of stock everywhere? I would like to stop buying the single use beru one. Will it come back to stock soon?
Dear customer, please contact us via Email: *techsupport@**hueco.com* -Thank you!
Hi I just recieved my Hitachi 450 11 0340 for my bmw 535d once I install do I require bmw software to clear or reset or will generic tool work or does it not require reset ? Thankyou . Martin
Hello Mr. Meaney, for our GCU you don't need any OBD device. It's just plug and play and don't need to be relearned.
@@HitachiAstemoAftermarket thsnkyou for your help and reply .
What if I have changed both the glow plugs and control module but still have no communication with the glow plug module?- bmw e60
Hello Waqas, please check if there is a problem with the elctrical connection.
Hi will this fit 2008 bmw e90 318d n47 ?
Could you please send the VIN number to techsupport@hueco.com and we check that for you?
Is this compatible with a 2007 E81 1 series 120d N47 engine? or is there another product that is?
Please contact our techsupport: techsupport(at)hueco.com and provide the VIN of your car.
Good Morning,
I would like to know the difference between these two preheating modules
hitachi 2502196
hitachi 132196
Dear Alfredo, they are the same products, just different branding. One is HÜCO (13er) the other one is HITACHI (250).
Gutted, just seen this the day after fitting the beru module. Guess I will get a hitachi after 80k miles when it fails again
80k miles???? I ve replaced 4x beru in 61000km....
@@BeZzeMa seriously?! I was just going by how long the originals lasted
@@bandit12-- Im 2nd owner so I'm not sure if previous owner had so many problems with this module, but since I own it I replaced my 4th today ......
@@BeZzeMa did you change the plugs too? I used a reamer tool when I did mine and it took a lot of crud out there
@@bandit12-- 2 years ago I replaced both plugs and module. Mechanic checked plugs and said that plugs work just fine, so replaced only module this time.
Whare to buy ?

Dear customer, please send us the VIN and the number of the our product and the error code to techsupport@hueco.com🔧
I wanted to see how to change glow plug control unit not glow plugs.
Hallo Margus Mikson. We show how to change everything because it is recommended to change the glow plugs while replacing the glow control unit.
Hi. I have a BMW x5 2010 i have the code 4a7f preheating control unit diagnosis feedback. Would this be the glow plug relay box faulty?
Hello Richard, it's difficult to say what the problem is. Please use an oscilloscope to check if there is a communication between ECU and GCU.
