[Vwdiesel] Testing glow plugs

[travis gottschalk]

It is more important to keep the same voltage plug and on the older diesels to keep fast glows with fast relays and slow with slow. I can imagine that the little differences would set a light off. The light on my 04 was on more then off till the recall. The light doesn't come on anymore but that doesn't help with starting below zero. 

With boring a 1.6. You would need to be concerned with the space between the cylinders after a certain point. I had a 3020 diesel JD that the block was cracked from the top of the block down to the main bearings. Common first year mistakes on the 3020. A couple years latter they put more space between the cylinders. It even ran still with the cracks (sleeved blocks). I would think this could happen with the high compression on a 1.6. But there is enough block around that if you wanted to experiment then go fore it. Finding pistons shouldn't be to hard. Just have to mill the height down correctly. With our pulling tractors we were able to get any piston we wanted made. (consisting of a "G" block and head with "A" front half of rods and 4020 back half of rods with a custom piston notched out for the cam and for the rod to pass by the piston. We used a D11 piston once even). Either way there is enough 1.6 engines out there that you can experiment and not be out much money.
