2 Hdi Starting Procedure

[killie77]

Hi

Had the Car about 3 Weeks now and I've noticed that the Glow Plugs don't illuminate.

Well they do if the cars left overnight but only for a second rest of the day you never see them

when I turn on the ignition I get the Engine Management light Airbag and ABS light I wait till the Air bag and ABS light go out before starting is this the correct sequence ?

Thanks for any replies

does it start ok? if it starts but take a few crank then the glow plugs might need replacing and not expensive £20 for 4 from eurocarpart, the other ignition lights coming on are normal as long as the don't stay on then the engine is running

hi

glad you asked about the Starting seems to take a couple of seconds to start wasn't sure if this was normal or not

Cars done 56000 miles so might be as well to replace the Glow Plugs

Thanks
