My "check glow plugs" warning came on yesterday with the flashing yellow light ![]() As Qubo is 5 years old now and covered 35k miles, I invested in a new set of Bosch OEM glow plugs from Eurocarparts - less than £40 with discount ![]() Easy to change with a deep 8mm socket and the air filter housing removed. When I tested them, only one was faulty so I'll keep the old ones as spares. The warning disappeared as soon as they were changed, so no need to clear any fault codes. Happy days ![]()

I was told by a garage that it's not an easy job, and if seized, could cost in the region of £1,800. Could be a female with no technical know-how getting ripped off?

After a few weeks it became more irregular and the stopped displaying the fault. Now it's been pretty cold up here and no warning, and starting first time, every time.......oh er ...I've probably just jinxed it! Ken

Are the glow plugs just used for starting? They aren't active once engine is running, right?
