Huh, the 240D I measured was 55 A on the series glow plugs,
and 300+ A when I hit the starter. I suppose the Fluke
could have been overloaded and lying, but I thought those
things
A 615 or 616 in really good shape warm might draw as little as 300A,
but the book says 900 on a less than brand new starter for a 603.
An old starter will draw 2000 and still start the car except when very
