another sucuessfull $2 glow plug harness. Well mine cost just a little more.
slide on connectors like shown above (but NOT shrink tube) $1.97
3/8" plastic slide on tubing $1.99
Assortment of Shrink tubing $1.97
I already had the wire and solder.
I used 12 gauge solid wire to make the 2 loops for the glow plug pairs.
I use 12 gauge stranded wire to run from the 2 loops to the factory harness.
I used what ever that stuff is you buy from Home Depot to stop corrosion on Aluminum electrical wire on the glow plug ends.
When I first started the car, I still had the glow plug light so I added a little loop that connects the 2 feeds from the factory harness. I started car again and still had the glow plug light. Hooked up VCDS and cleared code, glow plug light has not been on since. (I guess glow plug light was coming on because of memory of code?)
Anyway, started car at 24deg Christmas morning, started perfect with no stumbling.
