Title: Glow Plug Relay Location?
Post by: dr_dirtg on August 22, 2007, 03:41:00 pm

I tried searching, I didnt' find a direct answer.

Could someone please tell me Where is the Glow Plug Relay located?
This is for a 1994 Golf TD
Is it under the steering wheel in the fuse box? If so, which relay is it? I don't have my fuse box plastic plate/cover so I can't tell.

I bought a new glow plug relay and it has 2 terminals that are biger than any of the relays in my fuse box... did they sell me the wrong glowplug relay?

Thanks,
Appreciate it.

Edit: Add Picture of the relay I purchased:

That mate, is not a glow plug relay - the glow plug relay has 2 fat terminals, 2 regular ones and two very slim ones for the dash led and temp sensor

the relay you show is more like a horn relay from an opel

Pretty sure the picture you're showing is the load-reduction or "X" relay... glow plug relay is much bigger and has many many more pins.
