Steve Q Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It could be the glow plugs or wiring to the glow plugs. How old are they? Is the car struggling to start. You'd be surprised how little glow plugs the car can run on for start up. For example I've just had mine chsbge on my A6 c5 a d only 3 out of the 6 were working.
