## ⚙️ Key Features

-   Heater from the Starting System group
-   1.049 kg
-   Supersedes 20758403, catalogued earlier as a starter element
-   Covers the 40 applications of the number it replaces across TAD, TD and D series engines

## 🔌 Function

Warms the intake air before it reaches the cylinders so a cold engine will fire and run cleanly rather than cranking and smoking.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Difficult cold starting with white smoke until the engine warms
-   Preheat lamp not lighting, or lighting but nothing happening
-   Fuse or relay for the preheat circuit blowing repeatedly
-   Element found burnt through or blistered on removal
-   Corroded or overheated terminals at the element connection

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the preheat relay, the supply cable and the earth before condemning the element - the circuit carries heavy current and volt drop looks like a dead heater
-   Renew the mounting gasket when the element is refitted and tighten the terminals to avoid a hot joint
