Guest Paratus899 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Hi all, I have a 2 litre Xsara 53 reg. The problem is that the glow plugs, which have just been replaced, are not heating up and consequently the battery and starter motor are getting hammered. Can anybody help? Is it likely to be a fuse or broken wire? Regards Quote

So if you've got starting difficulies, I would be looking for some other reason. When you first switch on can you hear the primer pump in the tank start up? Maybe lift the rear seat to help hear it - And it only runs for a very short time. Quote
