04 1.9 Diesel - possible glowplug problems. - georgeA
I am looking for a good engineer that can fix my car,because after visiting vauxhall authorised dealers and service i feel i wasted my money and time.I am saying that from previous experience and problems i had with them.
Now to the point. After reprograming my cars heating in vauxhall ,the last 8 months on my dashboard appears that light with the car and the spannel tool.
I went to a private code reader,and he diagnosed that i had to change the glow plugs on my car.And i had them changed,and the relay for the glowplugs also.
He also said that there must be a fuse for the glowplugs but he wasnt sure where it was?
if anyone knows about its location please let me know.
And also if someone knows a specialist for diesel cars , vectra c would it be possible to let me know the details .I live in london.

Regards


George A

What codes did he pull?

Any other symptoms with the car?

maybe some more smoke on the exhaust , when the car is cold.
takes a bit more time to start.
