glow plug problems, 84 300D turbo
I've had problems with #3,#4 cylinder burning out glow plug. twice in about a year. first two I replaced wre from new set installed along with new type relay two & half years ago. put two good used ones in at that time, yesterday put two more used in, #3&4 again. coincidence or something wrong with relay, etc?? thanks for help, bill

What brand of glow plugs are you using?
The reason I ask is that several folks have mentioned much less than satisfactory life of Autolite and Champion. Those that have gone with Bosch replacements have reported much better results.

I may not be reading your question right, but it looks like you are putting in used plugs. why? new ones don't usually fail very often. carbon build up in the pc can cause premature GP failure.
