Running this in a 1985 300TD somewhere north of 335k on it. I have not been monitoring the glowplugs at all really unless they fail, which I've had three do. One was kinda nasty, rest looked ok.
Note though that I have been running about 1/3 ea of wvo, motor oil and stale gas. The gas and wvo really seem to keep the smoke, coking and smell away. Was getting a lot of all three of those things in W80. Much happier now and have managed to get about 500gal of wvo for $300.
Got in an accident on Friday though
looked in my mirror to change lanes and lady in front of me had stopped. I locked up both front tires but still just hit her. Knocked the headlight bezel and rad support back almost an inch. Thought I was going to drive away until the radiator blew. Fortunately, the guy I got it from gave me a spare radiator. The alternator has been a little squeaky and I have easy access to it right now so taking care of that. Got creative with a bottle jack and got measurements within 1/8" side to side. Should have it back together tomorrow.
Could have been a lot worse. Barely any damage to the lady's Fusion.
