My conversion is 300Tdi in to what was 2.5Na.
The plugs are wired together with the Black/Yellow wire, but theirs nothing from the end one going anywhere , When I hold the Ignition against spring just before starting this light comes on bottom row. Is this the Glow Plug light ? If so are they heating up ? Or do I need to connect somewhere ?
Thanks

the plugs are earthed through the head they only need a live feed which thy have with the yellow and black link lead
 
So 3. 4 and 5 do I just splice in to there respective wires ? Ignition, Any White, Thin Yellow / Black ??
depends if its a timer relay,ie comes on when you turn ignition on in which case any ignition white wire would do, the warning lamp wire would need to connect to the lamp wire thats there already

Think it is a Timer Relay, Was hoping there might be a spare plug in there somewhere behind my dash for these wires.
 
Do you not have Relay ?

No relay, the system is the same as it was for the 19j with the 19j ignition switch, when you look at it the wires and the switch they are man enough for the job.
With a tdi fitted the glow plugs do not have to work half as hard as with the indirect injection 19 anyway.
Pretty sure NA diesel would have used the same switch.
Tdi been in 12 years with no glow plug problems.
