Morning all,
I recently did a 300tdi conversion from a 2.5na, all went well as I connected a single glowplug to the original brown cable (used on the 2.5na)
Anyway, its been chugging when started from cold with a bit of smoke - so thought id connect up the other glow plugs and see if it got any better - bad idea! Ive melted the first yellow/black cable to the second glow plug, and after disconnecting the others (just one left connected) the light just stays on the dash when engine is running
Done a bit of reading up and i might have fried my ignition switch, kind of makes sense as when i turn the engine off I can hear the starter motor kicking in - great
So the question is, it I get a replacement ignition switch and the correct timer relay from a Disco for glowplugs, should I need anything else?
Thanks guys
Chris
