VERY strange noises coming from a Cabby. ::)
Good job ! It's nice to see diesels showing up in strange places. Locals here have a Scirocco with a hot AAZ and there are 2 Corrados - one TDI and one AAZ.

I made my own "glowplug relay" using a ford starter solenoid, heavy duty wire, and a 50amp fuse into a momentary switch in a dash blank. Cost about $10.

nice...here's mine... ECO turbo version...     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azkwcJWbHOY

I did the same with the glowplug relay...used a lawn mower starter solenoid...for the switch , I used the set button from an old cruise control switch,

I installed a electric operated air valve to turn on boost pressure to the LDA and get more fuel...used the "ON" position from the cruise control stalk for the switch.

Regards,

Ken
