Hello Zoltan, 1st - the series Vs parallel question - OK - series is when the GPs are hooked one after the other, i.e. #1 gets 12V, #2 is supplied by #1 (and has a voltage loss), #3 is supplied by #2 - again with a voltage drop, and so on. The so-called Fast Glow Plugs are wired such that

Great info. I'm inclined to ask though, which type did my model come with? The series or the better type? I seem to remember that the series type (that depend on eachother to have voltage - which, by the way, seems like poor design) came on the older models, and was phased out in favor of plugs

Re: [MBZ] Archives?? Brake Fluid DOT 3 or 4 ??

I'll cast my usual vote for any decent DOT4, alternating with ATE Blue. That way, if you do the right thing and change the fluid before it changes color, you can tell the difference between the old and new fluid.
