They are 4 Heater Glow Plugs (similar to spark plugs) which are fitted on top of the engine,you will see them when engine cover is removed.
A fault code read would be a good idea, the 2006 has glow plug monitoring which removes guess work.
Thanks for your reply. i have tested all 4 glow plugs with multimeter and they all are giving zero resistance. then i took them out and tested battery as well and they all start glowing withing seconds. So glow plugs are fine i guess. if you have any other suggestions please send me message. so i can check for the problem.thanks again
A fault code read, this would have eliminated the glow plugs themselves (but NOT the control system) as they are monitored on this engine.
