[Vwdiesel] Glow Plug Relay Kaput

The Glow Plug Relay on my '86 Diesel Double Cab stuck closed(!) and
drained my battery.  Has anybody ever had this happen before?

The part number on the relay is 443 911 261.  Is this fast or slow
version?  What is the little reminder I've heard Loren use before to
ensure the relay matches the glow plugs (Brass is Fast & silver is
slow?)

I have a spare from my '84 Jetta TD donor.  That part number is 0 281
003 099.  Fast or slow?

What happens if I use a slow glow relay with fast glow plugs - or vice
versa?

Thanks for any help!
