How to repair broken glow plug connector - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

wbuhrman · #1 05-05-2008, 08:11 PM

I have a '99 E300 turbodiesel. While changing the glow plugs today, one of the glow plug connectors partially broke. It is part of the plastic housing that snaps onto the glow plug. The connector appears to be crimped on and is part of the glow plug harness. Is this something a DIY'er can replace? What alternatives do I have? The connector goes onto the new glow plug, but is missing that familiar "snap" to hold it in place.

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks.
Wayne

I believe you want part #265. http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb2.asp?TP=1&F=210225&M=606%2E962&GA=722%2E608&CT=M&cat=19T&SID=54&SGR=120&SGN=02

I'd call Phil with your VIN and the part number you think you want and let him confirm.
