TAMD40! - Glow plugs

[saltwaters]

One of my engines takes too long to start.

Does anyone know of a source for glow plugs for the TAMD40A? John from Blackman said I might be able to get them at Foreign Auto Parts. I'm not sure where that is in SD.

Thanks

The glow plugs are made by Bosch. When I get home from the Padre game I'll forward the part number to you.

Bosch 0 250 200 053 is the number I use on my 40.

I'm sure you can get them at:
Advanced Diesel Injection
3134 Main Street
San Diego, Ca 92113
Ph. 619 232-6452 Just a few blocks from SQC or NASSCO

Thanks Mike. I called them today. They recommended I call PG Auto Parts. I'll pull one of them on Saturday and let you know if the number is different.

I appreciate the number and advice.

PG is only a block south of our shop. I'll try and swing by friday and ask Victor what they have in stock.

p.s. the last 3 digits (711) may be a lot number and not part of the part number.

P&G didn't have any glow plug.

Mike,

Thanks for checking. I drove by there and found they aren't open on Saturday.

I pulled my glow plugs and tested them.

Two are working correctly, three do not heat up and the tip was broken off in one of them. (The last cylinder by the turbo)

Do you have any suggestions on how to safely remove the broken part from the engine?

The part number from the ones I removed is 146 025 0200 053. It looks like it said 11 volt after that.

I went to 5 auto parts stores looking for them. My mission today is to find one in Orange County.
