Re: [MBZ] OM602 glow plug replacement conclusion
Larry had difficulty getting that intake back on so the glow plug wires didn't short out.

Re: [MBZ] OM602 glow plug replacement conclusion
Shouldn’t Dan have done that before selling to you? Shame on you Dan! Yeah those om606 plugs are super long. No wonder they break. I used lubro moly high temp anti-seize compound on the threads during re-assembly.

Re: [MBZ] OM602 glow plug replacement conclusion
I've got to do this job again on the E300 I bought from Dan, the OM606 is notorious for the plugs breaking off in the head so I'm not looking forward to it. Need to check with my Indie to see if he has the special tools to extract a broken plug if it comes to that.
