    Default Car spanner light on cold start

    Hello
    My 2.0 dti has a problem with the car/spanner light coming on after cold start. It then goes out 15-30 seconds after driving off.
    No other sign of this warning when driving on longer journeys or when starting from warm/hot
    An advice please before I trust it to my local dealer for diagnosis...!
    Many thanks

    I had the same problem. Replaced all glow plugs and spanner light stayed off.

    Many thanks for your replies.

    Hopefully not so serious (i.e. expensive!) then. I'll take it to my local garage for a new set of plugs and see if that sorts it.

    Just pray they don't snap any when removing them!

    Glow plugs replaced yesterday and all seems good. 2 cold starts since and no sign of the warning light! £83 at my local garage so not tooo bad really.
    Thanks for your help.
