Hi everyone I need your help please. I have a 2001 1.9EL Scudo (non turbo model). I tried starting it a few days ago and the glow plug light flicked on and off, it normally stays lit for about 3 or 4 seconds. I then had to crank the engine for what seemed an eternity until it fired up. I have connected a cable from the glow plug nearest the off side of the van. Before turning the ignition key I hold the bare end of the cable to the + battery pole for about 5 seconds. I then turn the ignition key and the van starts. Can I assume the relay is faulty given I am by passing it? Any help on the matter would be great ☺
