Glow Plug part #'s 3.0L CDI
I've been shopping around for glow plugs for my 2008 R320 CDI and the best that I can tell, the Sprinters with the 3.0L Diesels have the same glow plugs (and engine for that matter)
Why then am I finding different GP options/brands available for these? Poor database/cross-reference on sites maybe?
Can someone confirm if a 2013 Sprinter 2500 3.0L diesel has the exact same GPs?
Thanks in advance.

Okay, so I checked https://www.genuinemercedesparts.com and cross referenced the 2008 R320 CDI to the 2008 ML320 CDI, and to the 2013 Sprinter 2500, and they all have the same part number for the glow plugs: 0011596601

I'm trying to figure out if all these models have the same glow plugs. They have the same engine, but when I check different parts sources I don't get the same results.
The only potential differences I'm encountering that would affect function and fit, but haven't been able to verify are:
4.4v versus 7v
M8 thread versus M10 thread
The information out there seems inconsistent.

Okay, thanks for the input. Just looking for alternative parts sources, and found that the 2008 R320 has the same GPs as the 2008 Ml320. The 2008 ML320 has the same GPs as the 2013 2500 Sprinter, but the 2013 2500 Sprinter does not have the same as the 2008 R320.
In the end, I'm pretty sure all three of these use the same plugs.
