Don’t touch it. They degrade from heating and cooling over time, and become really brittle. Nearly every one I’ve ever replaced has been cracked in the center. Dan > On Oct 4, 2016, at 10:45 AM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > wrote: > > I haven't needed one in at least 7 years and I dri

The 80 amp fuse is intended for running 6 glow plugs. It is the WRONG fuse. The correct fuse looks the same but will be 50 amp. This was in my post yesterday. Another post yesterday told you the fuse was in the top of the relay, under the relay cover, and exactly how to take the cover off.

80A. That's what I meant. I think. Whatever it is you can get them at the stealer, they are (or used to be) pretty cheap. Keep a few in the glove box along with a screwdriver for any field repairs. --FT On 10/3/16 7:14 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: That is the “strip” fuse, John. Ju

Re: [MBZ] 240D Glow Plugs not Glowing

No, but I'd guess you can buy a new relay for the price kent wants to bodge up your car. About $130 for a new one and $30 to 75 for a used one. Check out ebay You can use a 4 cyl or 5 cyl relay. Just put in the right fuse. If you think you want to go the pushbutton relay route, let me kno

Re: [MBZ] 240D Glow Plugs not Glowing

I made one correction to Philip's post below. What he said, plus a couple of clarifications. Batter voltage should be battery voltage. 1. 240D GP fuse is NOT 20A. It is 50 Amp. You can find them at VW stealers if FLAPS does not have one for you. 5 cyl engines use a bigger one, 60 or 65

Re: [MBZ] 240D Glow Plugs not Glowing

I was thinking I have seen ones that are different amperage ratings - the strip is wider or narrower depending on the size. They’re the same length, however. Dan > On Oct 2, 2016, at 5:26 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes > wrote: > > Mine were big in size. 1 1/2"? > > Dwight Giles Jr. > 1982
