As the owner of two OM606 engines I read with interest the various "stuck glow plug" threads. The horror stories are fascinating but in my own case I've never had a seriously stuck glow plug. I attribute stuck glow plugs, at least in part, to the massive amounts of carbon (diesel soot) dumped into the intake by the EGR system. I'm curious to see if anyone else has had the same experience.

The poll asks whether you've had stuck glow plugs and whether the engine had a working EGR system at the time of the problem or immediately before. You get to decide for yourself whether your problem was serious enough to qualify. Please base your answer on your worst problem. Although I'm primarily interested in the results for the OM606 engine, any diesel engine with an EGR system is OK.
