Glow plugs: OM603.96 vs. OM603.97?
Last night I brought home Sixto's #20 head, which is destined to replace the #14 head-with-bad guides/seals on my 1987 300D Turbo (W124, OM603.96). Sixto tells me that the #20 head, which came from a 300SD (W140, OM603.97), although he thinks that it was not the original head, takes a slightly different glow plug than the #14 head.
EPC shows that my existing OM603.96 engine with its #14 head takes either a 000 159 81 01 or 000 159 83 01 glow plug. The OM603.97 engine uses either a 001 159 17 01 or 001 159 36 01 glow plug. Anyone know if my existing #14 head glow plugs will work in the #20 head or are new ones required? [Yes, I should get new ones anyway. The question is, are the two types compatible?] Jeremy
