Glow Plugs

[Endless Summer]

Hi Guys,

aqad40 replacement glow plugs?

Volvo part 838954
Bosch part 0250201034

I called a Volvo repair shop for replacement part and price, $90.00 each pretty pricey anyone have a good alternative?

I'm using Autolite 1103 in my 40. $8.50 with free shipping on ebay. 40 bucks for a box of 5.

Thanks Mike for the info, another question how long do you wait to start your motor after the glow plugs are powered?

10 to 15 seconds works for me. I have an 84 Mercedes that uses the same glow plugs and they time out after 6 seconds and she starts right up.
