[diesel_mercedes] Series Glow Plug Up Grade

 



Yes they are .

There are kits one can buy that either have adapter bushings or larger threads, look into it and I don't recommend any sort of " quick glow " plug as they always seem to burn out sooner .

Thank you so much. I got them off. Are the parallel glow plugs the same as the pencil style ones?

I love watching Kens videos!!!


 

I am having issues with GP's right now, and seriously considering upgrading.  I like the Mercedes Source Monark

plugs.   Ken has some great videos.

Laura ;

If yours look like Bills, then yes there's a specific method I use :

It takes two pairs of good quality pliers : one a small pair of ' Water pump ' (NE: Channel Lock)  to hold the ring just inboard of there the electrical connecting strap goes so it doesn't rotate as you use the second set of pliers to loosen the round outer nut .

I'd wire brush the exposed threads before doing anything else .

It is critical to hold the inner ring/nut thing so neither it nor the electrical connector rotate as you loosen the outer ring/nut .

If it's posible to convert this engine to parallel glow plugs from the current series setup , do so it'll make your life much easier .
