[Vwdiesel] More Dasher (Glo Plug juice time)

[Milt Kaplan]

When I got my caddy the glove box had several bad relays rattling around in it. Previous Southern California  owner apparently used starting fluid when needed. Not good idea in Seattle! I added generic Ford solenoid, pushbutton on dash, led to monitor glow plug line. Would have used flashing led and count the flashes but yellow flashing one was not available at Radio Shack. When engine cold I push the dash mounted button about 8-10 seconds. I thought about putting in a door opening sensor timer circuit to by pass the push button but its not necessary. Using pushbutton you can choose amount of time needed to heat the plugs. If slow plugs maybe up to 20 seconds needed. Doesn't hurt to keep on a bit longer unless your battery is weak.
