renault4 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Just bought a 200Tdi from a disco 1 to put into my 110. I heard it running and it sounded sweet, just out of curiosity I whipped out a glow plug and the body of it was covered in oil, NOT the tip, just the shaft, is this normal? or have I bought a swede?

Mine were the same - could be copperslip to stop them sticking in the head Cheers Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renault4 Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 thanks Pete, but what could be copper slip? as I said, the glow plug shaft was covered in OIL do I have a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Copperslip goes a muck black colour like most grease when heated. It could also be a mix of soot and diesel. Cheers Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
