It's been some months that my glow-plug lamp has been out. Being new to diesels, I willingly confess to total ignorance in this matter!
Does this indicate that the relay is defunct, bad wiring to glow-plugs, etc.?
Here in Norway, we've had a very warm winter until this week. Now the temp. has dropped, and the van won't start. The diesel filter is 7 months old. I drained it a bit in case there was water in it. Tried a squirt of WD40 in the intake manifold. The injectors seem to be good, as the engine has been absolutely smokeless in the year that I've owned it; a very good vehicle in my opinion. Any suggestions, reprimands,etc. would be welcome! I don't mind taking the public transport, but am rather fond of my new van! Thanks in advance.
