• Anyone have a part number?
  Any obvious signs?
  
  The PO put in fast glow plugs and I assumed he put in the relay.
  
  We all know what assuming gets us.

• 443 911 261 is for the 6 second relay. IIRC you cant get the slow glow relay anymore.

• I'm thinkin' that the PO got the fast glow plugs and not the relay.
  
  Thanks for the PN.

• no prob. its totally possible that the PO didnt swap the relay. Even if they didnt, that wont make the car start harder. Fast glow relay with slow glow plugs will make it hard though. Not the other way around.

  I think I've thought about it to much and I can't get it straight.
  
  Thanks again all!
