My 86 golf has the fast glow plugs. Came that way from the factory. I dont know much about the beck arnley glow plugs, but I put the bosch duratherm glow plugs in my 86 golf and am happy with them.

glowplugs
The difference physically is the fast glows are tapered near the tip, the slows are cylindrical all the way to the rounded tip.
The tops, where the wire connects, are brass on the fast glows, silver on the slow glows.
Yeah, I cry when I can't find duraterms.

Is this unusual?
I rebuild/redid this beast after sitting for 5 years. I replaced one glow plug about two weeks ago. Started super fast for two weeks.
I put some "cheap" diesel in and it started starting really hard. Drained the fuel and replaced with good fuel. Still starting hard. But if I plug in the block heater it fires right off.
Sound like glowies? Is it unusaul for them to go between starting on one day and then not the next?

Test your glow plugs. I bought a set off Ebay and the first one burned out in 2 weeks, the second and third a few weeks later. They were just crap. I now have some of the old ones back in there and another one from an old parts engine and they have been working fine for over 9 months.

Check to make sure your glow plugs have power with a voltmeter. If they do not, then before you start your car, jump the glow plugs with a jumper cable for about a minute and then start the car. If it starts fine, then the problem is the relay, if not, your problem may be with your plugs or it may be your compression. You may want to read How to get the diesel started and go through the whole troubleshooting process. Too many variables to give to an accurate solution, IMO.
I personally avoid any glow plugs that are not Bosch, I know Jack here sells glow plugs, but the Shopping Page does not say exactly what brand they are. I am sure they are Bosch, but I do not know it they are Duraterms.

When my relay went (fast-glow), I would use a jumper wire for 7 seconds, the same time as the relay would have gone. I would say for the slows, jumping them for 20 would suffice.tylernt wrote:This is fine for slow-glows or for Duraterms, but I suspect that running fast glow plugs for that long would damage them.jump the glow plugs with a jumper cable for about a minute and then start the car.

I have a slow relay with fast plugs currently with no problems. When I was trying to figure out the problem on my last engine, I would jump the glow plugs up to a minute and sometimes more. I still had no troubles. I think they are just plain Bosch Fast Glow Plugs. I know this may shorten the life of my plugs, but I like smoother starts. If it is warm out, I will start the engine before the light goes out.

Dropped in the new glowies and it starts on about a 1/4 revolution! But the weather has finally warmed up. Will be 40 in the am so we'll see how fast it starts then. But this am it was about 50 and I only burned the glows for about 10 seconds and it fired right off.
NOW...why didn't you guys tell me I had to grow a third arm and remove the front left half of the engine to get at #3&4! LOL
I didn't torgue to spec...How in the He,, would you ever get a torgue wrench in there to torque 'em without taking out the fuel pump...so I hope I didn't crank on 'em to hard. I shoot bow and my compound holds at around 25lbs so I knew about what the spec(22ft/lbs.) feels like.
So far so good.
