Since I'm pulling the head its the perfect time to do the glow plugs.

Does anyone stateside have the steel 7volt glow plugs?

I didn't find them anywhere except in Europe.

I ordered mine from Europe, easy-peasy. Used a credit card. Use the company listed elsewhere in Lost. Arrived in about 10 days.

Over $220 for 4. That's just freaking insane.

Where did you get the $220 figure for the Italian steel glow plugs? At today's exchange rate 4 cost ca. US $161 + ca. $17 shipping for a total of under $180 vs. the OEM 5v which if a kit was still available (apparently it's not) was $125 + say $10 shipping + a minimum of $100 for a dealer ECU reflash = $235 or if you have an GDE tune the reflash is only $50 so the cost would drop to $185.

My upgrade kit, with the same Bosch plugs and a Mopar relay is $125.00 plus shipping. My concern, at this time, about the Italian plugs is future availability and US availability. My thought on why some of the failures occur is that I suspect the relay sticks (maybe one time, maybe more) and overheats the plugs. I have seen it in older diesels, one took out my personal engine. I rebuilt it as a result. Another was on my Dads TDI. It only burned out the plugs, it did not break them thank goodness... So that said, I'd rather replace the relay anyhow. Better safe than sorry. Not saying the Italian plugs are not good. There have been many positive reviews on them.

You are absolutely correct Mike. When my Glow plugs went out, it was a bad $7 relay that was shot as well and I was having battery drain issues where if I let the Jeep sit for 3 days it wouldn't start. I have since made that $7 part fall into my 12,500 maintenance schedule, because I don't want $7 causing $200+ in damages again. I would suggest the same to anyone, to replace both relays in there that look the same as the ASD Relay every 12,500 miles.

Stitch in time saves 9 and all...

IDParts will have there...and MUCH cheaper than other options. Hold out if you can.

I couldn't hold out and got the ones from Italy last week for 134 euro (177 USD) shipped to Ohio. Seemed to me to be the best option since I don't have the time to be messing around going to and fro to the dealer. The purchase was painless, flawless and was in my hands in 1 week.

No affiliation with anyone. YYY, YMMV, etc., etc.

I paid well over 220 from italy. Plugs, vat tax, and faster shipping. Could not wait.

I don't see an option for free shipping when buying 4... trying to place order now but will wait if I can save a few bucks on shipping. Can someone confirm please?

MY APOLOGIES!

I miscalculated their shipping cost and in fact shipping is $4.95 not free. Completely my error. I have corrected the original post.

PS - if you are in Boston just come pick them up!!

kjjet · **Posted:** Tue Aug 27, 2013 3:17 pm

Ya...I saw that. I just ordered mine with $4.95 shipping. Still a great price.

Good people! No tax.

Thanks for getting back to me here. I'd love to pick up but traffic and fuel costs don't make sense when shipping is only $5.

Thanks for the orders everyone, I have started the preorder list and those orders already placed will ship the same day these arrive (which should be by the end of next week).

It has been a busy day here, so if I missed your phone call or e-mail please accept my apologies.

WolverineFW · **Posted:** Tue Aug 27, 2013 9:39 pm

Just ordered mine as well. Thanks again Corey for doing such a great job sourcing these parts.
