Mine are Bosch 80010 type, $8 from Rock Auto.

A guy on one of the truck forums wondered about the 'self regulating', so he left a duraterm going for 36 hours until he had to leave the house unattended, and it didn't burn out.

Early cars had slow plugs (and matched controller). Later, and many service replacements got the fast plugs.
Slow is like 2 minutes form freezing, fast about 30 seconds. Mostly the fast ones have a tapered tip.

Bosch and Beru should both be good. I haven't seen Berus for the D24/old VW application but they probably exist. I don't see any reason to use anything other than Duraterms. Don't know about NGK's, Densos, etc; those are usually great brands for spark plugs and for Japanese diesels that they originally came in but Bosch is always a good choice where it was the OE setup. (IMO same goes for Isuzus and Mitsus etc that originally had Denso plugs -- I would use Densos there over Bosch).

I have seen Autolites and Champions have the tips get soft and swollen up in Volvos; I would use almost anything before I put one of those in....

So when I replaced the glow plugs the first time this spring/summer... One of them was completely missing the tip!! think it was long burnt up or got stuck inside head somewhere cause I never heard any rattling!! Think it had been gone a while... couldn't this really fuck your valves or something up?

If it burns away, you are OK, if it falls apart, you can lose the motor. Nots times they knock for a minute, and blow the pieces out.
The dealer broke one off in the head of my friends TDI at no extra charge and it passed pretty successfully. No surprise just hoped for the best and didn't tell her... Pistons looked about the same, just filed em flat.

Save the tokin!

Your video probably has to be on youtube or photobucket type of place unless you can make it a .zip of 97.7 KB or less.

Ok so Ronald is up and running. Just did cold start this morning 45 deg NO ether. Didn't fire till 2nd crank but was being conservative on cranking time. Blows a lot of smoke for a couple mins then settles down but doesn't disappear.

Found a couple problems at IP. Getting a lot of little bubbles in return line. Especially when I start and they slow down after warming up but don't go completely away. When I give throttle the bubble seem to almost go away. Is this the input shaft seal you were talking about?

THe other issue is the IP is leaking. Pretty damn sure its coming out of the IP where the (head?) meets the main pump body. Its at the seam directly in front of where the Bosch VE #'s are located (think the 'head' part might be steel and body of pump aluminum...? leaking between the two) I am getting just over a drip per second which ends up being a small puddle in garage after a few minutes!! Now can either of these issues be addressed without removing the pump??

I got video of the bubbles in the clear return line I'll try and get it posted at a remote location and post a link here... Thanks guys!!
