Seat Ibiza tdi problem

[Sitoni]

It's a 1.4 tdi ecomotive.

Glow plug light started flashing when on motorway a week or so ago. Stopped switched engine off and on it had gone off. Thought nothing of it. But came on again when revved above 3k rpm and noticeable loss of power - turbo not spooling up properly. Each time light would go off when I stopped and turned back on again and car would drive ok again. Yesterday the glow plug light starting flashing and yellow engine light came on. Does anyone know what this means?

I have been on several motorway runs lately so doubt it's the dpf. Research points to turbo actuator or egr valve.Anyone else had this problem and can help? Thanks

DPF might need to be regenerated by the dealership. Or replaced, depending on what state it's in.

Related to an Egr fault on a previous vag car i had, it cleared when i restarted the car and didnt happen again luckily.
Get the codes read to tell you for sure, may just be an Egr clean if your lucky.

On ours (2012) DPF has its own warning light and a regen doesn't effect performance. So egr / turbo fault I'd say.

If the dpf is failing you are likely to get restricted performance. Not saying that's what it is but I wouldn't be surprised if it needs a new one.

you need to get the codes read otherwise its just guess work.

Thanks everyone. I will take it to a specialist to get the codes read and see what the deal is. Hopefully nothing too serious.
