C270CDi Glow plugs

[goody]

Hi all,
Brain picking time again.
Does anyone know the part # of glow plugs for my 02 C270CDi (W203).
Also what ohms readings should I see from a good plug with a meter ?
cheers in avance ( not let me down yet)

I have not even looked at the location of the plugs yet.
(not lazy just dark evenings & no garage at the moment)
What will I need from the old toolkit to change the plugs,will I need long reach sockets.
I believe there is a special tool to reduce the risk of snapping plugs off,is it a must have. I have also read about reming the plug bore to remove carbon, again is this a must do?

Get Beru plugs from Euro car parts. They are the same as the MB ones but without the star.

Compare all of them and the faulty ones should show up

If you are replacing them yourself. Get the engine HOT before you remove them.

Once you know the BERU part number, visit the BERU web page. The site lists the failure torque for the glow plugs (at least it does for the OM606 glow plugs).

If you set a torque wrench at this failure torque, you will be much less likely to snap any.
