Building a glow plug HOW-TO and need a couple of MK1 and MK2 pictures...

[Vincent Waldon]

... tis the season for a whack of "now that it's getting colder my car won't start" posts and I thought I'd get ahead of it by building a "Glowplug 101" HOW-TO.

Got most of the pictures I need but I don't own an MK1 or MK2  these days so can't take pictures of the all-important coolant temp sensor.  Google images couldn't find any for me either.

So, if anyone has a reasonable camera and an older diesel I'm looking for:

- good picture of the MK1/ early MK2 brass glow plug coolant sensor, usually on the driver side coolant flange (got it... thanks Bobby!)
- good picture of the later MK2 plastic glow plug coolant sensor... usually on the front coolant flange iirc
- a picture of an MK2 fuse/relay panel that shows the location of the glow plug relay

Anything that can scaled 800x600 at 72dpi is perfect, and of course you'll be credited / retain your copywrite of the image.

Thanks in advance,

Vince

I can send you a pic of my 92 EcoDiesel with the plastic coolant flange, but won't be able to take the pic till next Wednesday.

I will snap pics of the MK2 stuff tomorrow if you don't have it yet.
Loved the pimp the glow plug write btw

wow funny you should be doing an FAQ on that. Are you also covering the how to on replacing the pesky glow plug fusible link?

[lovinthedeez]

That's the right panel... what I'm looking for is an actual picture, since people seem to relate to pictures more so than drawings.

Thanks, tho.

I have a CE1 cluster. What do you need? I also have a CE2 cluster with a tach conversion.

Draft is up and running, btw, but is still a work-in-progress:

I've got some more pictures, text, and a wiring diagram to add.


In the meantime, comments welcomes, as always.

Thanks... I'm looking for a clear picture of the fuse/relay panel, so that I can circle where the glow plug relay lives.

Vince, my reply was for Lovethediez who was looking for a CE1 cluster. I can take some pics of my fuse relay panel also but won't be able to do it till Thursday.

Thanks and no hurry... only if you have time.
