Hi All,

I'm not sure if this is the correct section to post this so please feel free to move it if needed.

Just wondering if anyone has any pointers. I have a VW engine Mitsubishi Outlander that's had a misfire/hesitation issue and the car was almost in a limp home mode but with no engine management light. Have eventually used an OBD scanner and found it was pointing to all four glow plugs being shot, but was initially showing two banks of errors - essentially two entries for each error - cant remember if they were all the same codes though.

I have changed the glow plugs this morning and whilst the engine is better it is still down on power and still misfires a bit. The ODB scanner is still showing codes P0671 to P0674. These codes point to the glow plugs - which are new. When I try to clear the codes and re scan they are still there.

The engine is a VW sourced one - 2.0 DID. The engine code is BSY, but googling it also looks like a BKD engine - I believe it was also fitted to the passat

Anyone got any ideas or pointers? I was wondering about the glow plug relay? Anything else?

We have had people bring us these things and we turn them away as so much much is different
