Re: [MBZ] 1983 240D Bosch relay kit
Steve: I did the upgrade two years ago. Install new glow plugs, throw away the toaster wires (actually, I sold mine on eBay), wire per directions, disregard anything involving putting in a new relay, and look forward to winter. Two years later, I'm still going strong with the 240D stock relay.

I want to know if this is an issue or just proceed according to the kit instructions?

I purchased an after-glow kit for our 617.912 when we moved here to Los Alamos (colder weather and higher altitude than Austin, TX) in 2002. As I recall, it was a direct plug in, though I did have to purchase the 5th glow plug separately. Craig

I purchased a kit from Rusty but the instructions are describing a series installation where my car has a parallel setup. I want to know if this is an issue or just proceed according to the kit instructions? It's simple electricity, so far as the plug wiring goes. I'd just say follow the instructions. What you take out might not match what they're talking about, but what you end up with should match. -- Jim
