Thanks for responding. Yes, a very old thread for sure.
By any chance do you have the part number of the cylinder head sender?? I have the wiring diagram for the 91 300SD and SDL but the darn thing does not show the wire to the T pin in the relay....so I did not know where they were picking up the temperature input. I have a recommendation from Beru for the glow plugs but have not purchased them yet so another possibility sounds reasonable too. Do you have a preference for Beru versus Bosch?? It is winter in Michigan, so the car is put up out of the salt and I have time to play with it. Thanks again Frank

It was so long ago, I will check my records but I probably do not know anymore. Check out the FREE EPC  https://epc.startekinfo.com/epc/welcome.jspThe temp sender is in the head under the intake manifold area. Semi difficult to reach, figure this for a good few hour job. The extra wire to the GP relay is obvious, it is the only new pin open. Either glow plugs would be fine. Purchase whatever is on sale at the time. I even used :gasp: Champion plugs in my 300SD for years without a lick of trouble. I recently pulled them for afterglow style Bosch as I purchased the afterglow relay for the 617. All were still working after years of service. Cannot remember the total cost for all the parts, but figure around a few hundred if you need new glow plugs. Plus the cost of the relay varies, I paid about $40 for mine used only. Lastly, it really makes cold starts much cleaner. Now the car sounds like a Diesel on start up versus a top fueler at idle.  One of the best mods to the 603, next to removing the ALDA and hollowing out the cat on the '87s.

Thank you for all the information....as well as the knowledge that it works well in the car. I am not sure how I ran across that old post of yours but I have been looking for answers for quite a while before contacting Beru to get their advice.
If you are ever in Chelsea, MI, I am easy to find. I am assuming here your home listed as Hell is not Hell, MI! Frank
