I believe so. My understanding is that solely replacing plug 3 with a pressure sensor fitted plug (e.g. Beru seems to be one of the only ones available) would likely solve the issue but it's probably worthwhile replacing all of them with OEM / Bosch instead of the Ridex plugs. Hopefully I've not missed something!

@varaderoguy - Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes leaning towards that route now! Will try track down some Bosch parts. Thanks

Hi all, Hoping someone can help as getting mixed messages when reading into this. A few months ago a friend of mine fitted 4 x RIDEX 243G0006 Glow Plugs for me in my 2015 SKODA Octavia III Combi (5E5) 2.0 TDI RS. I completely missed the fact that Glow Plug 3 has a pressure sensor inbuilt during my part research. The car has been running fine, the occasional rough start, but I am now getting a recurring engine light with error code - PO673 (Glow plug, cylinder 3 - circuit malfunction) A quick reset only results in the light coming back on a few restarts later. I now know that this is related to the cylinder 3 plug - probably the sensor but I wonder if there's more to it. My question is two fold; 1 - Would I expect the EML be coming on just because there is no sensor present, or is this a fault with the plug itself? 2 - If the lack of sensor is the issue can the EML be disabled for this or should I be looking to buy a new plug with the sensor (Beru seems to be the one here from what I'm seeing)
