coupe4 Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 hello everyone,im looking for a bit of advice,the eml came on on my 2016 a6 and vcds says glow plug no.2 .i cleared the fault and the car is driving 100 percent but im wondering if changing the glow plug [plugs]will solve the issue or could it be a wiring issue.any advice or comments are welcome.
Steve Q Posted August 23, 2022 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.
coupe4 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Posted August 23, 2022 thanks for the reply steve,ive just changed the 4 glow plugs so we will see if the fault stays cleared,never had any issues with it starting ,even after a few days parked up in cold weather.hopefully this sorts it,thanks again.
