OM648 E320 CDI Chinese Glow Plug Controller

Anybody here try one of the Chinese glow plug controllers that you can find on Ebay? Did it work without issue? Please share any feedback if you have installed one.

I tried several on my '05 duramax. None of them worked. I ended up having the OEM controller rebuilt by an internet supplier and it works correctly.
Mercedes may be different, but I'd stick with OEM.

Thanks for the reply. I wish the OEM controllers were still available. Mine is still working now but it is original to the car as far as I can tell.
