[Vwdiesel] Glowplugs with a "GAP" like a sparkplug ????.

[Dana Morphew]

Hagar, I reread your post, and I think the "gap" that's referred to is what is known
as the ring gap.  This is the space between the electrode and the part of the plug
that screws into the head.  So, it isn't a gap in the spark plug sense :).
