Re: [MBZ] 606 glow plugs

Beru, that's the "good" brand.  Bigger beefier "nut" part, and Beru
publishes a maximum loosening torque of 45 Nm IIRC.  I could find no such
torque published for Bosch.

Bosch are not as good as the other brand that I can't remember the name
right now.  Bosch was not the factory installed glow plug in the OM606.

What brand plugs are you installing?  I went with Beru, they are the OEM
and seem to last a long time.  I think they also are pretty strong and less
likely to break upon removal.

Did you coat the new plugs with never-sieze?

Probably not skipped.  Number 6 is a demon from hell, cursed by the all mighty. 
 For some reason the OM606 engine will coke up the #6 and not let it go.  Both 
times I had to deal with them in the E300D, the head came off so the GP could 
be removed.

Now THAT would be my idea of a road trip!  Unfortunately, I doubt I 
could even get that on the agenda for the Vacation Committee (Chair 
= SWMBO).  If it is not NYC, on a Caribbean island, or near the 
Mediterranean...

Ya gotta think positive.  Ya gotta know the territory  )(Prof. Harold Hill)

Okie Acres II is not that far from Manhattan  (NYC requirement)   We 
can find you an island in Eastern Okieland  and a few carobs 
(Caribbean requirement) and something near Mediterranean for the 
requirements.  Now she thinks the 3 are mutually exclusive, but you 
can give her all 3 at once in OK!

I was able to remove all 6 glow plugs from my 98 e300 without breaking any. 
3 of they were stuck in there good but lots of tightening and loosening, 
and gentle wiggling back and forth along with pb blaster got them out. I 
can see where it would be easy to screw up that job and break one off.
