For Sale and glow plugs in the MB 300D Turbodiesel #TBT
Posted By RichC on July 9, 2026
It is not a “for sure” For Sale, but I did clean up the 1982 Mercedes Benz 300D Turbodiesel last weekend and added a sign to the window. Now I’m not going out of my way to sell it, but we do need to thin down the automotive stable. We’ll see … I’m not truly committed to selling it just yet. 😉
That said, I had a conversation with Tom Appel, of the “Car Stuff” podcast hosts, about it as he has a weekly “quiz.” One of the question was “Is it an actual car part?” A missed question was “glow plug” to which as a diesel guy, I was disappointed. It started me thinking about replacing them back in 2013 and Tom asked what a glow plug goes for these days? I didn’t know since it has been a while and was shock to see a set of 5 for my car costing $115. Wow.
So for Throwback Thursday, here’s an old photo from when I replaced the set of them.
