[diesel_mercedes] vwNate: Re: Glow Plugs : Resistance And Proper Testing

 

Hi Chuck ;

I wound up replacing the GP relay as that was bad under load , the car still flashes & beeps but the glow plugs now heat for 30 seconds if I wait that long , I just wait for the flashing & beeping to stop and it lights off *instantly* .

I guess the shorted glow plugs killed the relay ? . I dunno .

In time , I'll yank the dash binnacle and see what's up in there , write a post about what I find .

I drove the car 160 miles to-day , it is amazingly smooth & quiet .

I'm sure my sweet will love it .

-Nate
