Good day all its Sebastiaan.
i drive a 2.8 td gq. with the look to upgrade later to a v8 turbo :p
I got something interesting going on with my glow plugs.
the car has been starting like an absolute c*** and figured id check the glow plugs. turns out that only the one on the very front was still working. so ended up replacing 5 glow plugs thinking that was the issue..
done that this morning after that i tried starting her up and still have the same problem it does start a lot better but still starts like its missing on 1 cylinder.
thing i noticed is that the relay under the dash kicks over as soon as i give it a bit to try and keep it running. after its warm its fine and starts fine to even when it sits for a bit.
im also noticing to that the glow plug light comes back on when i start it and keep flashing for a while.. i tried to find out what that maybe a sign of but i haven't found it yet.
thing im wondering is what is going?
can anyone give me some advise on what to do please?
