Diesel Pre Heaters
« on: November 16, 2009, 14:20:04 »
What are the things called that pre heat before you can start the engine??

Mine take about 35 seconds of holding before the engine will start when cold so am thinking they may need replacing??

300tdi ?   the light on dash has nothing in reality to what the glow plugs are actually doing.  On 300tdi the power is still being fed to the glowplugs  for x number of secs after the dash lamp actually extinguishes (Switch on the ignition and don't start the engine after a short while hear the relay click when they turn off properly) And in the same vain, your glow plugs could have all burnt out long ago and yet still get the dash lamp.   The relay/timer has a temperature sensor, the colder it is the longer the plugs (and maybe the dash lamp) is ignited.... you might just be seeing a turn in the weather.

Ok, am guessing from that then that they fail as opposed to just deteriorate with time?

A glow plug can fail any time,some can just be slow to warm up. 2.5 plugs are crap anyway,the 200 ones are amazing,but you never need them!
