    Heavy black smoke on acceleration is more likely to be the turbo not spooling up, really doubt glow plugs would cause that.

      but it happens on non turbo diesels too. 🤣

      Modern diesels rely on glow plugs for more than just cold starts so it’s possible.

      In some vehicles, glow plug light stands for engine malfunction light...might want to scan for codes. If your vehicle is not cranking at all, then the possible causes are, bad battery or loose terminals, broken contacts, bad relays, blown fuses etc

    my glow plug light flashes for about 20 seconds when first firing up the engine then goes off, im new to diesel so is this normal

      That means you have a bad glow plug. Glow plug light may lit up for few seconds like 2 or 3 and should go off even before starting the engine.

    My car keeps going into limp mode. Sometimes the engine turns off while driving especial if the car is warmed up and driving it on inclined roads where it need more power. Can this be caused by bad glow plugs? because one of my mechanic said it was injectors, i changed it, it does the same thing. it Audi A4 quattro allroad.

      Sounds more like a fuel supply issue, I’d get your fuel pump checked, I’ve had this issue with my a3 and turned out to be a bad fuel pump

      Check ur MAP/MAF sensor they cause a lot of problems this being one but mine would just randomly die in idle

  • @manjunathreddy1773
    @manjunathreddy1773 Před rokem +1

    Is this related to Vaccum sensors by any chance? Because I'm told that I'm getting this error and power goes down and there is black smoke due to vaccum sensors issue. Pls help me here

    • @autoinfogroup1629
      @autoinfogroup1629  Před rokem

      Don't think glow plugs can cause the issue. but if the vacuum solenoid is busted, most cars with vacuum actuated egr n turbos may experience power loss.
