Glowplug warming problem on Fiat Ducato 2.2 100 multijet manufactured in 2008

It is good you are sorted and thanks for posting results, I would suggest trusting a good French garage though if you get problems over there because the labour charges are usually a lot less

Un petit problem! Je ne parle pas francais!

this will also spark if the glow plug is chuffed when glow plugs burn out it is not unusual for them to burn out live feed goes to earth this also damages relays and blows fuses.
and what happens when you get five volt glow plugs putting 12 volts to them will make sure they need replacing

if you dont know what you are doing dont give this sort of advice out

I have have been in the garage business most of my life and this has always been the method used,it does not take a lot to work out if they are 5volt glow plugs to put 5volt to them.

Thanks for the update.
I have fitted glow plugs in many a Ducato engine and it is a trifle tricky but can be done in well under an hour. The problem arises if they break off in the head and probably that is why the garages charge so much, to allow for the odd one that has to have a head removal job done.
