2001 2.8, glow plug light is coming on about 20 sec after startup and staying on for a about 30 secs any ideas please?
 
Bump... Surely somebody has come across this problem, thanks in advance
 
I had a 1998 2.5TDi (with the thermotstart system) I recollect that the glowplug light stayed on for about 20 seconds after the engine started with a clicking noise from somewhere (sounded like a relay & the glowplug light flashed along with the clicks)

I've no idea whether this was supposed to happen but I got eventually got used to it!
 
I have an 07 2.3 and had this problem. My lical garage ran their diagnostic software and found that 2 Glo Plugs were duff. They still are as they can't remove them to replace them. No trouble starting befire or after garage intervention. Winter will show how bad a problem it may be. The garage said that these plugs are pre heaters rather than full blown Glow Plugs. Not sure that I understand the difference. Time will tell.
