Hi all,

 

I have had an issue over the last month or so where my fabia wont start and the glow plug light is flashing. Can hear the starter motor trying when i turn the key but getting no ignition. This issue has revolved itself before, hence me only posting now. I did this by removing the key and pretty much just trying again and again until when i turn the power on the light is no longer flashing. Unfortunately, this is no longer a working method and the light is not budging.

 

Just for some additional info - i have put new glow plugs in this year along with a new battery, a new alternator and a new MAF sensor.  After searching on forums and youtube i am stumped.

 

Any help with be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks, CB.

Update: the car started first time this morning and then died around 3 streets away from mine, wouldn’t start again doing the starter motor and nothing else. Managed to retry and start again but took home and not to work. 

I would get the car scanned for fault codes. If I remember a flashing glow plug symbol is a problem with engine management. It can put car in limp mode or if its a majorfault  the car may just stop. Check the connections/wiring at the MAF sensor and get it scanned to see if it pings anything related up.
