[Vwdiesel] 1.9TD Glow Plug Relay

[Wade Yorke]

I have a 1996 1.9TD recently installed in my 1984 Westfalia.  I have 
read that the glow plug relay keeping feeding power to the glow plugs 
for a few seconds after the engine starts.  When my glow plug light 
goes out I can hear the relay in the engine compartment 'click' and the 
dome light brightens at the exact moment the glow plug light goes out.  
  This leads me to believe that power is completely cut to the glow 
plugs when the dash indicator light goes out.  Is there a different 
relay that would allow the glow plugs to remain on after startup to 
give less smoke and smoother running at startup?

Thanks..
