Glow Plugs Change?

[shear2001]

I just changed the # 4 glowplug that failed. Car is starting better, however it runs rough for a couple of minutes. I just hit 444,000K and don't remember ever changing the glow plugs. Should I change them all or just keep on keeping on?

At $14 each, I'd only replace the bad ones. Test their Ohms and replace the ones that read higher than 1Ω

I replaced all of them, but kept the old ones that still worked as spares. YMMV

G'mornin',

The best price that I found is $11.04 ea for Bosch "pin type" glow plugs...

$10 each....at the dealer. My MB dealer gives me wholesale pricing, just ask them for it, they usually give it to you (make up a company name).

On my 124 model, the intkae manifold had to come off, no way in hell Im not replacing all 6 for that much labor.

$10/ea for a Bosch at the local AutoZoo.



You can replace five of them on a 603 by just removing the cruise control servo... that's only four 5mm allens I recall. It's a breeze and much easier than removing the intake.
