Glow Plugs

[vod]

How long should the glow plug light come on for??

I'm guessing that it is temprature controlled and on a timer depending on the temp??

3rd Gen by the way.

No problem starting but my light only stays on for a fraction of a second.
I'm used to old diesels where the light stays on for much longer and have taked myself in to having a problem

Thats exactly how the glow plug light should be on a 3rd Generation.

Just read about that beep and tried it on my truck. Thats saved me £40 plus postage. I was gonna buy new glow plugs as it was lumpy on start up. It's perfect now when starting after the beep and relay clunk.

Thanks chaps.

Makes a difference, doesn't it. If it's a really cold morning, waiting for the
beep then switchiing the ignition off and back on again and waiting for the
beep a second time will really make sure you start okay. I always give mine
two beeps for good measure.

I'm well impressed. I was even contemplating replacing my batteries to improve things when starting. I'll be giving it the "2 beeps" when it's seriously cold and the veg mix is thickening.

That's just being greedy. A V8 and a beep.
