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
@@danmegoutdoors8709 hey bruv, same issue here. did you change all plugs or is it just one plug? im also new to diesel and just bought one. mine is older, an 09. and the light comes on when i start but goes away after and i do feel loss of power a lil.
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.
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
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.
Thanks for the information.. in my case it was the harness to glow plugs
useful information. Thanks
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.
Excelent video
i thought the symbol was the dpf filter for vauxhall corsa
Nop its a glow plug light...in some makes, its also the engine malfunction light.
My engine glow plugs flashing
And the engine not starting at all?

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.
@@autoinfogroup1629 thanks for your help, its going to the dealership tomorrow to get sorted
If its an old vehicle it's normal for it to stay on longer when starting the engine
@@derricksiame83 its a 2015, and all sorted now, new glowplug and im happy again

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
