Petrol diesel mix is ok but only on non high pressure cdi dieselstype49 said:As for the earlier petrol/diesel mix thread for very cold climates, I wouldn't recommend this over here. I see at least 1 diesel per week with petrol in the tank and if run untill the engine stops - and it will, this usually results in a new pump required as it relies 100% on the oil in diesel fuel to lube it. As soon as petrol washes the oil away, it's useless. If you are very unlucky, you may also bugger up your injectors and at £300+ each, the kids won't be getting any presents this christmas!

If the Glow Plug light comes on 'all' the time, then suspect this module, pull it out, open it up and look at the Fuseable Links, chances are 1 or more will be burned out.
Hi
Sorry to drag up an old thread as my first proper post
My engine is the 5 cyl turbo deisel as used in the big sprinters - mines a Vario 612.
Light comes on - goes out - i start engine - light comes back on till things have warmed up (anywhere from 20 secs to a couple of minutes)
From this post im suspecting glowplug or plugs but not relay box
is this basically the same engine as you are discussing in this thread - ? and if so do all the previous comments about plug shear apply - because if you think Merc workshops are dear for a car, you want to try a 6 ton truck for getting stitched up
my 316 sprinter had this exact same problem, it turns out the relay has a common (software) problem, yes there is a computer in the relay box, you will see the power in from battery lead, the connector for the glow plugs and a 2 pin plug which must carry serial data from the main ecu to talk to the relay unit so it looks like the computer crashes leaving the glo plugs on! (not fixable i belive) so if your light comes on then pull the cable out of the glo relay before it kills your glow plugs (still starts just need to crank a bit longer)

hi richard
thanks for your help but do you know where is the relay box because i need to take the car to the garage where i can change them but i don't want to drive the car with the heating bulb on so i need to unplugue it first.
