Re: [MBZ] Which glow plug? - 240D

I will only use Beru or Bosch. (OM621, 61x, 601-603) I have used neverseeze on the threads. You never want the neverseeze on the tip, but you can carefully put it on the threads. I recently had to change the GP relay on the 603. Glow light was only 2-3 seconds. GPs all checked good.
