Hi guys. I am re-engining an '81 Cabriolet trying to use up parts I have squirreled away from 20+ years of working on VW and MB diesels.
I have a small pile of glow plugs, but only 3 that have a similar sort of "pointy/tapered" shape - I think the pn was 0250201032 which I think is really correct. The rest seem to have a more blunt end -perhaps these are MB?
IIRC, the injector is aimed at the glow plug on a VW, whereas the MB has an internal ball for this purpose.
Is there any real issue with using a "blunt end" GP on a VW? Just trying to use up all my stash.....
