Would this ignition-switch issue also appear on an L355-SS? I seem to have experienced this sort of failure a few days ago. At the time the engine was being a pain to start and I thought I'd overheated the starter. I Was getting power but solenoid/starter were dead/silent. It started fine 30 mins later.
Cold Start question
- Thread starter Krump
- Start date
Really good responses by obviously knowledgeable people.
It has been my experience that glow plugs ( VW Diesels) fail just when ever they feel like it,with no predictable life span.
The only suggestion I might make is that you use a test light when checking them on the bench. I have burn scars to prove that good ones get very hot very fast.

Be sure to check the small, start wire connection at the starter solenoid. I have found mine to give me fits to the point I was convinced the starter was going to have to come off for repairs. What I finally found was the engine vibration was enough over time that the connection there was not tight enough to start as it should but not loose enough to fall off. 
I about went bald over that one.
