Hi everyone,

I have a engine management problem regarding my glow plugs on a Skoda Fabia VRS 06 plate.

The glow plugs where changed when the fault was diagnosed. 2 days later however the fault came up again and i have checked the glow plus myself and all seem to be working. I am thinking it may be the sensor or something else to do with the glow plugs.

Any suggestions before i start messing with my car or spend a fortune on it?

Thanks

Mike

What is the actual fault you have?  How was it diagnosed?

There should be a relay which actually switches the glowplugs on and off according to a signal from the ECU, check the wire from the ECU, the relay itself and the connections to it.

+1 For the relay. This problem started for me just before Christmas, Glow plug light started flashing - then glow plug light flashing with engine management light on too, and then they both went out. All within a few days. Now the glow plug light does come on with ignition, but the car clearly isn't pre-heating as it takes ages turning over to kick in.

 

Nevermind, it's being traded in for my new Monte Tech

did you clear the fault codes from the ECU before rescanning?
