I had a 85 turbo diesel, and when I redid the car the glow system was shot (wires were hacked,) untill I had a chance to make a new harness. I had a makeshift jumper setup so I could light them when cold, but never used it/needed it when hot. Only reason I mentioned the TDI was my 99 always had the glow light on come on even when hot, though it was very very short.
I think the extra fuel has made it worse, but thats just life I suppose. Its not like it takes so long your wondering if its going to start, but compaired to how it starts when cold its a good bit longer. I'm thinking about doing a relay off the starter signal wire, so they will just glow when I crank it. It doesn't really need much, and that would keep me from having to install another switch somewhere in the dash...
I'm going to bring home a compression tester tomorrow and check it, I'll post up what I find.
