Hello Everyone

When I start my fiat Stilo JTD a warning as started to appear PREHEAT FAULT could anyone tell me what it means and what I have to do to correct it. Everything else seems fine.

This should help (although the treads very confusing ):

Re: Preheat Fault Warning

Hello everyone sorry about this but had the Glowplugs tested and been told they are fine, they said now it could be a memory fault the warning is still coming up every time I start the car.Could it be the memory and if so what do I do, or has anyone any other thoughts what it could be.

By the way changed the front headlamp bulb hope it never goes again what a stupid design that is.

Re: Preheat Fault Warning

If you're sure the glow plugs really are OK then it might be heater relay (for the plugs)

Re: Preheat Fault Warning

It's on the bulkhead (middle top) and if you look carefully you'll notice all the heater plug wires lead back to it.

Quite easy to remove, I think, but you're on your own as far as diagnosis is concerned (think it might be an Examiner job )
