When the engine is cold the glow plugs engage on up to the 5th turn of the key, but when it's hot it's always at least 20 attempts before engagement.

For what it's worth I don't think German engineers would design an engine where changing a fuel filter every 20k miles required a laptop and software,be required to know how to use a laptop computer and which flags to switch on and off to prime the pump in some software. So I got the impression that the techs there just filled it with Stanadyne which is mostly diesel fuelbuttoned things up, and started the car. The parts guy paused for a moment and looked a little befuddled. This is what the techs use to fill the filter with.

Of course, I tightened them in a cross pattern, to help it seat properly and evenly. I put them back on about as tight as they were. Sorry, I don't have exact torque specs for the bolts. Maybe the failing temperature sensor was acting exactly opposite of a tuning box or Evry mod. During the initial test drive, I'd swear my car's performance is up a bit. After the install, my car started up without a hitch. Use a clean rag to wipe off the mating surface between the cover and the body of the injection pump. Remove the sensor, then follow the instructions in reverse to finish the job. This could easily be done with a nut driver, as they are not especially tight. Use a TX10 bit to remove the two screws holding the sensor. It looks like it could be installed upside-down, which may or may not affect it's operation. I used a clean rag to soak up some of the diesel fuel around the sensor. Use a wire-tie to secure the cover and keep it out of the way. Now the top will remove, and some fuel will spill out. Use a 13mm socket on the DieselGeek adapter to remove the triangle bolt. These bolts are not very tight Use a TX30 bit to remove three of the bolts. FIRST, place a wad of rags in front of the injection pump to catch the diesel fuel that spills out. Although one special tool is required, the job is quite simple. The sensor resides just under the cover of the fuel injection pump.
