Re: [MBZ] glow plug problem
I realized I may have made a mistake here. My 617 plugs draw a bit over 20 amps when cold, quickly dropping to around 14A as they heat up. I have no idea how much current Kaleb's 603 plugs should draw.
Re: [MBZ] glow plug problem
at the very bottom is a box to enter your email address in to get password, change delivery etc, its the list box/button on the bottom. Marshall Booth wrote: All the Mercedes diesels that use parallel plugs and have a fuse use the same 80 A fuse whether there are 4, 5 or 6 plugs. All of the plugs have identical electrical requirements - a 12V supply (that will drop to 11V or a little less when the plugs are first energized because of the high current and the voltage drop across the battery itself and the connecting wires). Initial current for each plug should exceed 20 A for the first few milliseconds but will quickly drop to less than 15 A and by 20-30 sec should drop to 8-10A. Shorted plugs are possible (I've only heard of a few) but shorted wiring is MUCH more common (wires pinched to the clips, bracket or intake manifold or terminals rotated so they touch something they shouldn't). When plugs fail, they much more commonly open, not short. The resistance of every good Bosch or Beru parallel plug I've ever seen was 0.6 ohms when at ambient temperatures. There is a TINY chance that a plug could measure 0.6 ohms but short (and the resistance drop) as it heated up. Marshall -- Kaleb C.

He test drove it and left the shifter in the 2 position.. Ran it up to 5,200 rpms and smiled. Been runnin' like a champ ever since. Only timing chain replacements and valve adjustments. Never been opened and original turbo, IP, injectors and trans. Odo is now 338,000 .. And I'm seriously considering driving to the GWS Tri-O-Rama event at Virginia International Raceway w/this lovely Old Girl. A picture of the Old Girl at a recent autocross here in Scottsdale, AZ is attached. Will be stripped from MBZ posting.
