On my 76 240D...how long can you let the glow plugs glow after the litttle filament behind the salt shaker top starts glowing. With the more viscous goo I have in it and the falling morning temps, I've been giving it a longer glow...but don't know what the limit is...balancing act between GP life/battery charge/starter wear/engine wear/low cost of running a $500 car on free goop.
Any help much appreciated, as always.
