Masked Marauder Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I have just been to buy four new glow-plugs for my TDi. The man behind the counter asked if I would recognise them as he had two types listed. I was shown two plugs, a long thin one (the one I need) and a short stubby one.

Masked Marauder Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Posted March 1, 2005 I now have my heater glow-plug in my hand and I don't think it is anything like the one I saw this morning :( Disregard my post above, it is not accurate.... Quote
