Any diesel mechanics on board?
My lorry (VW LT50) has been a pig to start recently so I thought I'd take a look at the glow plugs. I can only remove those from the front 4 cylinders because the back 2 are covered by the diesel pump.
A couple of questions:
- How quickly should they 'light up'? I put each one across a fully charged battery in turn and there's a delay of a couple of seconds before they glow.
- When the glow light on the dash goes out (when the plugs have reached their working temperature), is the electrical supply to the glow plugs automatically disconnected?
TIA
Cheers
