Hi folks,
I have a 2008 C220 CDI, last month a glow plug light came on during a cold start(stayed on for approx. 1 minute after driving away) and I changed all 4 glow plugs(to Lucas), however since then during a cold start, the light is staying on for the same amount of time. I put a diagnostic machine on it, and there is a fault showing up with glow plug 3 stating a 'Short circuit to ground'.
This makes me think that this is an electrical issue further back, and possibly nothing to do with the actual glow plug?
Has anybody else came across this and could offer any help/advice?
I would love to be able to sort this myself without having to take the car to an auto spark!
Cheers!
Ryan
