Diesel Pre Heaters

Yoshi:
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??

Glow plugs

Yoshi:
Yeah, thems the ones, cheers! lol

Saffy:
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.

Yoshi:
Its nowt that posh, its an old TD and as such i have to hold the heater thingy on meself!!
