I have a Stilo Multiwagon 1.9jtd 55 plate, and I have recently started having a few problem
firstly whenever I start the engine a glowplug (check glow plug) warning is displayed on the dash with a red glowplug light. so obviously there seems to be a problem relating to these plugs
secondly sometimes again after starting the engine there no virtually no power, i am lucky to get 2000 revs out of it and get white smoke coming from the exhaust, after a short while this just stops and revs go back to normal, I tend to get this problem when engine is cold. Also when this is happening the engine is juddery and i am lucky to get 10mph out of it
are these problems related, and knowing little to nothing about engines is it something that can be done myselfor is it something i will have to go to a garage for. If I have to go to the garage will I need to go to the dealers or would any garage be able to help me
any help and advice on this would be much appreciated
