Warning light on Instrument Cluster

[CrazeUK]

Model: C220 Cdi Automatic 2001

Hey guys,
Over the past few weeks i have started seeing a Yellow 'Coil' warning light on the instrument cluster:


Anyone know what it is?

It just happened to start when i have started hearing a slight squeak when truning my steering wheel.
Thanks

I think that means a glow plug fault

Do you not have an owners manual? It is the glow plug light. Also you have a bulb out.

Unfortunately not.

I know that light comes on in the morning for a couple of seconds, then goes out.

I forgot to add.. it doesnt always stay on.. it comes and goes.

If i am sat idling it comes on, then eventually goes out.

Also it is intermittant.

I am sure not all of the bulbs i am getting indicators for are out.

You have a bad soldered joint on the glow plug controller then

Any chance i can fix it?

I never had this issue before, its only a recent thing.
Also since changing all my Diesel hoses (see previous posts) my car starts perfectly, idels perfectly, and doesnt cut out on a cold start.

These glow plug controller are easy to solder up,I have done a few,,I say this as the fault is not always there so it must be a dry joint. I would do them all once you have it out
