• I'm in the process of putting a 1.6TD into a 95 golf in place of a 1.9TD. What do I need to do to be able to use the 1.6TD glowplugs or are they a direct swap?

• The eaiest solution would be to use the 1.9 glow plugs in the 1.6.The duraterm bosch glow plugs are commonly used in the 1.6 anyways.

• and the glow plugs stay on for a few minutes after starting to keep it running okay... the duraterms should hold up nicely!

• Thanks guys, I had heard bad things about the plugs staying on too long and whatnot so I didn't want to use to the 1.9 gowplugs.

• Its not the 1.9 glow plugs that are the issue I've only saw 1 gp relay stick on,thats one too many though.

  Right, and Iw as kind of hoping it would be as easy as swapping relays. I have Bosch duraterms, hopefully everythign works
