[Vwdiesel] Glow plugs

[Dan Stock]

Hello,

I have a 1981 Rabbit diesel 1.6na.  It will not start
and I figured out that all the glow plugs are burnt
out.  I also checked how long battery voltage was
reaching the plugs after turning the key.  It was
around 45 to 50 seconds.  I don`t know how long they
should get voltage but this seems to long to me. Can
anyone tell me how long they should get voltage and
would this be a glow plug relay problem?  If I can`t
figure it out I am thinking of just using a relay and
swith to cycle them manualy.

Thanks,
Dan
