[Vwdiesel] ID this Glowplug please !

[Forrest L King]

60 bucks each?  no way.   you can order the from www.vwdieselparts.com or
www.germanautoparts.com or www.vwparts.com .

around here Autozone (like flaps, or whatever they have up north) can
order them for about 8 bucks each.

Why bother putting in an unkknown plug?  You will probably spend more
than 8 dollars in effort installing and removing the plug if it fails,
I'd go with a sure bet and buy new.
