Spanner light

[Danwells72]

Hi guys, ive finally had a little time to wash my car and do a little maintenance but i still get the spanner light when i turn it on. It doesnt seem to affect the running and turns off after a short while but does anybody have an idea what this is? I havent cleaned the egr valve yet but did do the boost sensor.

Sounds more like glow plugs buddy

damn... didnt fancy doing that job

I've not personally done it but I'm led to believe the cdtis are easier to do than the dti (and they are a nightmare)

if it only does it first thing / or when fully cooled down

and goes off after about 3 - 4 miles.

then yep, deffo sounds like a glow plug issue.

I had this on my cdti 150, changed the offending in about 10 minutes total time

Ill still put it in a garage, i dont fancy breaking a plug in the socket and having to get it out

You'll more than likely get a P0380 error, which is what i got last week as mines doing exactly the same!

New glow plugs are needed
