[diesel_mercedes] Re : Glow Plugs Monark Brand

 


I've been using them in all my Mercedes , not a failure yet . they're German made , unlike the current worthless Bosch ones and *very* price competitive too .

Autolite ones are not worth spit , bad right out of the box mostly .

Beru used to be German crap 35 years ago ,maybe they're better now .

I have several sets of good use glow plugs , no one wanted them so I tossed them out .

[diesel_mercedes] Re: Glow plugs

 

Brian,

NGK glow plugs are good - my father uses them in every diesel he replaces them in, whether Euro, Jap or not!

Just ensure you put a never-seize compound onto the threads before screwing them into the head.... a good never-seize is Loctite Nickel Never-Seize!

[diesel_mercedes] Glow plugs

 

To whom it may concern:

The dead Bosch plugs were 0250201 039 marked "Made in France" (!)
The surviving Beru is 0100 221107, marked "Made in Germany"

Looking around for Beru plugs, lots of sites advertise "for 1983 300SD", but do not give the Beru part number. Not sure this matters, this thing has likely been superseded. FWIW, also finding glow plugs made by AC Delco, and NGK.

I recall a thread on Monark glow plugs.  Googling around about them gets several bad reviews, anybody have actual experience with them?

I suspect how many times per day, per week, per month, per year, you start your car + whether the temps are 80F or 5F play a part in longevity. I like 5 years as a target to shoot for.

My good friend - if your glow plugs are 6 - 8 years old, they have long passed their death date. But, let us know what you think of your Beru's and what price you get.

The rain and snow have stopped the ground is firm enough to start work, weeds growing about tire high..

Pulled all the glow plugs and tested them. 3 dead. When I installed the engine in this thing, 6 or 8 years ago, I bought a 4 pack of Bosch glo plugs, retained one of the old Berus. Three of the "new" Bosch dead, the old Beru still working. Lesson learned.

I guess my measuring the installed plugs was done wrong. Will install a new set of Berus and the old relay, see how that works.... Who has the best price on glow plugs now?

TIA

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Quotes & Waxes

 

This morning I began my annual "wax the cars" drive. Here is a tip - buy Fruit of the Loom six pack white socks every six months. Use the old ones to apply and remove the wax, and buff the car.
