    Vehicle : 57 zafira 1.9 cdti design

    Trim : design

    Engine : 1.9 cdti

    Year : 2008

    Default car/spanner symbol

    is it right that if the car/spanner symbol pops up just after iv started the car and then it goes off, means that it has codes stored?

    Yes, it means its seen a fault in the past that is no longer current. After about 20 restarts it should go unless it sees another fault.

    Glow plug or plugs. I was getting the same, as soon as I changed my plugs no more light.
    I changed all four.
    It could be old stored codes. But hey should clear after a few fault free starts.

    A flat battery and low voltage through out the system could also trigger codes - low voltage ones. Just get it running and clear them, see if they return.

    With the nearly flat battery the glow plugs will be draining the battery
    The EMS might be misunderstanding this and recording it as a glowplug fault

    Monitor this over the next few weeks and compare
    Providing you are taking the car for long runs this should recharge the battery, and the fault should no longer appear
    However if it does then there is an erratic fault that needs resolving
