[Vwdiesel] glow plug relay

[Michael Hitchings]

Well, I got back to the car with my donor TD engine today. I checked the
VIN and it breaks down like this:

Volkswagen & Audi VIN decoder Version 1.11, September 2000
VIN Number:		WVWGH0165GW855925
Model Year		1986  (G)
Model Type		VW Jetta 88  (16)
Model Style		VW Passenger car made in Europe  (WVW)
Body Type		4 door Deluxe  (G)
Engine Type		Highest Horsepower for model  (H)
Rest Type		Active Restraint  (0)
Plant Made		Wolfsburg  (W)

It looks good for $200 too. The odo shows 209K on the clock.

I also found the glow plug relay...submerged in the water in the
footwells...damn, guess I will need a new one (the sunroof was left
open. I closed it). I wish the lot owner did not leave the sunroof open
though. Those WERE nice seats and I could have put them in the Rabbit.
The relay has the following things written on it:
Schier Electronic (Mfr.)
Gluh-Zeitautomatik-Relais  (glow relay, auto timer)
12 V (duh)
24.4100.10 (not sure here)
Made in Germany
On the back it had the following:
X7

Can anyone tell me if it's the fast glow for sure from that info? I know
I've had a couple of hints, but I was hoping for proof positive.

Just pull them out till you get the one. Its rated at
like 50 - 60 amps. Its the only one w/ a rating like
that. Should be printed on the case
