Title: glow plug fuse?
Post by: watsongs on March 29, 2005, 08:06:06 am

I'm missing the "fusable link" for the glow plugs - the one in the holder on the firewall - anyone know where I can get one?  Thanks!

Yes, please!  What do I owe you, and how can I contact you for shipping?  By the way, how can I tell what the different designations are?  Thanks very much -

Let`s make sure we`re talking about the same thing to be sure: the one I have is a brass link in a plastic casing: is this like yours?

Well, I don't know what color it is, as it's completely missing, but the wires from the glow plug lead to a black plastic fitting on the firewall where there's supposed to be a 50a fusible link.  The terminals are brass or copper, though -

Yup that`s it.
I`ll take a look at it tonight to confirm that its okay to use.
What`s your zip code by the way(I can check on shipping)?

You can probably get those fuses from a dealership or aftermarket VW diesel store for a couple of dollars?

OK, the dealer doesn't stock them but a local repair shop has plenty.  Thanks for the help -
