noticed a little yellow coil like symbol on the dash this evening coming back from work

im confident its a glow plug or heater plug(whatever its called)

anyone wana just clear that up? and is it better to change them all at the same time or just the one? and lastly whats the best ones to grab?

cheers

Check your brakelights!

defo not my brakelights....i read that its glowplugs

I'd take the advice you've been given. Glow plugs very rarely go wrong and are pretty bullet proof, Fabias with 300,000 can still be on original glow plugs... But how many bulbs will that car have gone through?

Your right in thinking it's the glow plug light on your dash. It often comes on when a fault with the electrical side of the brakes has happend, usually it's only a fault bulb or brake switch. Double check these before you go Replacing glow plugs.

Both my Brake Lights bulbs blew at the same time and I got the Glow Plug indicator showing.

Replaced both bulbs and all was OK.

Your right. All my brake lights are off. How do I fix the switch?

Replace it, it's located under the pedal.

Anyone got the part number for it?

Griffin mill is best bet.

not all of us are trained mechanics so these forums are a useful guide before the dealers or garages rip us off

Anyone got a pic of where it is so I can fix it

Just remember, two screws between the EIC and wheel if you drive LHD.

Just to add, I had this issue and it was the Glow Plug in Cylinder 1.

Shouldn't laughter but reminds me of my old pug 407 diesel.

Using indicators used to make the brake light fault message come up and using the brakes used to make the indicator fault message come up.

Reminds us to ignore the car and take advice....

He fix that old French piece of sh!te was give it extra earth leads.

When one of my glow plug went it was the engine management light that came on.
