Hi all!
Yesterday after normal start, while I was driving the glow plug led started to flicker, then lit for a while then out again. Did it 2-3 times on a 200km trip. Today did the same once on the way back.
Never had similar before, what could be the problem? Shorted relay?
I pulled the wire of the glow plugs off to avoid damaging the plugs.
I have a nr. 258 relay (443 911 261) instead of nr. 60 (171 911 261D) could that be a problem? what is the difference between them?
Thanks!

Re: Glow plug LED
Today changed the glow plugs, the temperature sender, the relay and cleaned the ground connection in the engine bay. I hope it solves the problem.
Btw did not flickered since. Maybe the rainy weather caused it.
