Whats the problem? There are a few other issues that could be effecting the system.

edwardob · 23-10-2007, 19:35

test glow plug one and two with my little meter and there not working .so i just need to replace them........so i just need the bosch ...champion ..or other reference so i can get them online or my local motor factors

Lummox · 23-10-2007, 19:39

I guess three and four were then by the same test?

Got to be carefull as the latter plugs dont work on 12v when testing them and they are activated individually by a glow plug control unit which are not very reliable.

All the plugs I have seen for the 1.9 (105) TDi are Bosch. They will also log a fault code if they are not working.

What makes you think they are not working?

edwardob · 23-10-2007, 20:53

testing on vag com showed up faults on 1 and 2 plugs and then tested with a little meter thingy should not working properly....
so which ones do i get???

GnatG · 24-10-2007, 16:39

Bosch Number: 0 250 402 001
OE Number: N 105 916 03
Rated Voltage: 5 V

But I'd double check with your local parts supplier first to make sure they're the right ones!

thanks.....once i had the number ..i goggled it and that number seems to be right and also n10591602 seems also to come up..but i'll check with my local factors thanks..

No worries. One word of note - spoke to a mechanic who regularly changes glow plugs on Mercs. Sometimes they can seize, and then break on removal. This means they have to be drilled out of the head which is very time consuming! Might be better to get it done at a garage as opposed to diy. When fitting the new ones, make sure to use mounting grease (made by Beru) to facilitate future removal.
