55 plate CDTI - glowplug light on - drivewell
Hi folks

My friend's 22K mile Accord diesel has been playing up the past couple of days. Hesitating under acceleration, and now glowplug light is flashing.

Will book it in to main dealer tomorrow, but just wondering......

Do these have any history of pump failure?, or injectors needing re-programmed?

It's just that having an 05 Mondeo TDCi, (which had a new fuel pump under warranty last week) I get suspicious when I hear of symptoms like this.

Any thoughts / comments appreciated

But yours was because of a minor oil leak, not CR related?

You're right, cheddar. It was a minor oil leak, but it still suggests a weakness in the pump, if it was leaking oil at less than 40K miles. Wonder how long it would have lasted if I hadn't noticed.

Mine has has a minor oil leak in the area of the CR pump since nearly new IIRC, just a slight misting, never worried me, still going strong at 125k.
