No relay, the system is the same as it was for the 19j with the 19j ignition switch, when you look at it the wires and the switch they are man enough for the job.
With a tdi fitted the glow plugs do not have to work half as hard as with the indirect injection 19 anyway.
Pretty sure NA diesel would have used the same switch.
Tdi been in 12 years with no glow plug problems.

this is of course your simplest option,its this or relay,ive used both and at times neither,as tdis are such good starters

Mine was a 2.5 N/A, it does not have the relay, the heater plugs are fed by two brown wires to the same terminal on the rear most plug, which connect to a two terminal plug. This plug is on a spur off the main loom in the centre of the bulkhead.

That system looks a lot easier, wonder if that plug is on mine. Is it also 2 brown going in to main Loom from spur ?

I think they are brown with a black trace, but I will have to check.
