I've got a 1993 2.4 td surf that just had new glow plugs fitted yesterday.

It takes time to fire up and when it does it runs rough until its been revved a few times, it also smokes quite abit aswell in the process.

As soon as i start to drive the smoke and roughness stops and the surf is fine.

It's starting to get on my nerves now, please help.

Did you put the insulators back on in the correct order?

If not, you'll have blown the 80amp fuse and your glow plugs won't be working.

That explains it - thanks Matt.

I still think thats the temp sender in Bibs pic though ?

Rob.

As Matt said the autos have a different housing with the port for this switch plugged and the extra port. It's not a sender it's a switch. It's for the thermo fan in front of radiator. It will be normally closed and opens at a set temperature which allows the fan to operate. That's why when you unplug them the fan should operate providing the air con system is ok. There's something in the air con system which will prevent the fan from working if it's disconnected. I don't know what it is but when my air con was removed for repair unplugging the switch did not operate the fan.

......and tested the old one first because they are bl00dy expensive over there for a simple thermo switch.

Just had a thought. The one shown on the Roughtrax site suits the autos with the different connector. Do they have the type with the spade connector? This is what the manuals have.
