Howdy Volks:

Finally got up the courage to install the BN4 heater that came with my Thing in a box when I bought it 15 years ago. Shocked
Ian Epperson, of VeeWiki, came over today and helped me get my `73 Eberspaecher heater going but it needs a glow spark plug 411 963 319. I had to borrow his to get it working...
Surprise is it works great and it did not blow up and sing my jewels... Shocked Happy me... Very Happy
Of all the parts not working, it's such a simple item, but does not spark at all. No clue why, it looks very clean and undamaged.
If any of you folks have a nice extra one laying around I would like to buy it.
Secondarily I am also looking for a warm air vent - footwell "181 819 189 B".
The one that shoots into the cabin area behind the ashtray.

Thanks:

EDIT: Oops, looks like they don't actually have it: "0 Units in Stock"

...no price listed for their one thermostat and timer switch...

Are you talking about the 2nd tab on the side of the plug? I'm not sure what it's for - I assume it's just the same as the tab on the other side.

Or are you asking why there's a center conductor along with a side tab? Well, it's a spark-glow plug. The side tab heats up a coil in the plug which (I think) vaporizes the fuel as it squirts into the chamber, then the center conductor fires a high-voltage charge a few times per second to spark the center of the plug and ignite the fuel. A bit after it lights, I believe that it stops sparking and just uses the heat side of the plug to keep vaporizing the fuel.

The BN4 in my thing has a single pole. The one you show has a second that is a ground.

I think that the spark plug in your Thing is a BERU GZE 16 (one single pole)

Quote:

The one in the picture maybe is a BERU GZE 13 (two poles).

You can use a BERU GZE 13 in a BN4 heater.

That plug is for the BA6 heater. The poles are:
lower one is a ground,
upper one is the power connection for the glow plug portion

The plug for BA6 heater is sold here :
http://www.germansupply.com./home/customer/product.php?productid=16614&cat=376&page=3

It has 2 poles too, but it is not the same picture.

The BERU GZE 13 looks like this :

"GZE13" is engraved on one side.

I have one in my BN4 heater, and I have sold some of these with the pink insulator, others with the white insulator.

Identical to BERU GZE 16 (the genuine one, with one single pole).

I never said that they were cheap.

Shipping cost depends on the services (insurance, tracking number, express or priority,...) and it starts at 5 euros for other european countries and 6 euros for USA.

Ztnoo, check out your other sources for a NEW single pole BERU GZE 16 plug and let us know.

And if you find other hard to find parts at a cheap price (NOS dual air cleaner system, NOS 74 right mirror, NOS parts for the limited slip diffs,...), let us know too.
