Afternoon I'm looking at putting new glowplugs in my 300 TDI ..I've tested them all dead .
Thing is they were never wired up and I can't find any wire or a relay ..
What relay ,size wire and fuses will I need I'm going to rig it to a switch instead of ignition barrel ..any help out there
 
Use NGK glow plugs.
The TDI engines will mostly start without glow plugs so if you don't live in the arctic I wouldn't bother
 
The relay normally sits on the bulhead in the engine bay roughly in the middle.
There is a 'feed' from the main fuse box and a black and yellow wire from the relay to the glowplugs that are wired in series (4-3-2-1),

The power is from the AUX circuit and a separate signalling wire lights the lamp in the instrument cluster.


[Note: probably not the best glowplugs with this kit, Bosch or NGK are better and will likely last longer, but cost a lot more]
