[diesel_mercedes] Re: 1977 glow plug relay wanted and/or pinouts

 


Just ask Brian to grab one on his up coming P-A-P jaunt .

Have you take the old one apart for cleaning & polishing of the contacts yet ? .

I know new ones are available making the amoratized price very low indeed .

I really don't think the push button Ford relay set up to be a wise idea except in extreme cases because too short a heating interval means hard starting & cylinder/injector coking , excessive starter wear , whilst over heating will cause short glow plug life , this is why the early cars had the " Salt Shaker " illuminating device and the later cars all went to the timer relay ~ in the long run it's cheaper and more reliable .
