Easy to install. Take out the old glow plugs and toaster wires, put in the new plugs, wire them in series, and do NOT hook up the ground strap at the front side. On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 12:37 PM, R A Bennell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know this has been covered lots of times but if someone out

You've got new replace whats there glowplugs or new better type replaces the old type? In either case I'm a big fan of replacing the glowplugs. Wait, let me rephrase, I'm a fan of having new glowplugs, I'm not a fan of the job itself although its not really that hard. Easier on your car than

have someone hold out the glow switch. with a volt meter check for voltage on each busbar. when you get to the one that has no voltage, moving forward, then the plug behind that is the bad one. If you replace loop type with loop type, then everything, including the ground goes back as

First, the glow plug lamp will light as normal in a W115 300D with series plugs even if the hot wire at the rear is off, it's not current operated. Likely you have a burned out plug. The way to check is to get a volt meter and check the voltage to ground from the glow plugs from back to

The 300D has a keyswitch operated relay and vacuum shutoff, not a pull knob. Peter On Nov 3, 2008, at 12:49 PM, Loren Faeth wrote: have someone hold out the glow switch. with a volt meter check for voltage on each busbar. when you get to the one that has no voltage, moving forward,

Re: [MBZ] 115 300D won't start

I would like to be reminded of the procedure for checking the old style series glow plugs. While glowing, measure the voltage between the center pin and the collar of each plug, you should see approximately 1V between these two pins. (Neither pin is ground.) This is much simpler and more
