Is a w123 glow plug relay serviceable? (80 300td)
My glow plug relay is stuck on, draws pretty hard on the battery/alt full time. Should I take it apart, or just focus on finding a new one?
I'd run w/out it (unplugged for long drives), but it's too spooky not having a temp gauge to look at. It's got three mounting bolts and the larger plug (out to the gp's and temp sensor) has seven contact points. Thanks!! |

the early style relays are hard to come by, if you have the old style you might want to consider upgrading to the newer one (involves some wiring changes though). i did a write-up on W116.org

That 3 legged GP Relay they used on the 1980 300d is rather pricy new.
Pelican Parts - Automotive Parts and Accessories - Porsche & BMW I don`t think $735.00 is in any of our price ranges. ![]() The 3 legged one for my 80 240D is around $450.00. It`s just a relay, don`t know why they are so expensive. It would be best to up grade it to the later style like used in the 300D Turbo`s. I have a 300D 3 leg relay I pulled from PNP if you are interested. I only pulled it because it was there. Charlie

Can you post the Mercedes Part Number that is on your Relay.
I am sowing one that is about $95 and another that is about $375 Also do you have a Statin Wagon?

Isn't that what the Zocor sales reps drive?

there was a split in 1980 for chassis starting 211432; for models after that one they use the $99 relay
