Glow plug
While on our Utah trip I got an engine service light. Scanner tells me I have an open circuit for the glow plug in cylinder 6. This might be related to what I think was bad diesel but can't be sur...

On the V6 Sprinter you DO have an access problem, no manifolds need to come off, and the glow plugs can be had for $20. The intake air box and plastic engine cover has to come off. For cylinders 1,2, and 3 another plastic cover has to come off. For 5 and 6, the turbocharger outlet plumbing and resonator have to come off, followed by repositioning of a wiring harness. The glow plug electrical connectors are difficult to remove, easier with a special tool. Once this is all done, if you have the Mercedes glow plug tool, or wobble extensions, THEN it's a 5 minute job. I've not heard of stripped plugs, but sheared-off plugs is an all-too-common occurance.
