hi all!
just in time for some of the coolest weather we've had here lately,
the Glow Plug Light on our '85 300D isn't lighting, and cold starts have
suddenly become a fairly lengthy affair of several long cranking
attempts accompanied by a bit of whitish smoke immediately following its
eventual start-up. (smoke is an unusual occurrence for this rig, since
it eats almost exclusively B99.)
if i leave the key in the 'Glow' position for long enough before
starting, i eventually (~45 secs) hear a resounding 'click' from the
area of the Glow Relay, so is it safe to ASSuME it's just time for 2 or
more glow plugs?
what's the best way to check to verify exactly what the problem is?
is there perhaps a handy diagnostic write-up somewhere online someone
can recommend and point me to?
cheers!
