Hey Folks,

So I have a 1992 205 1.8 Diesel which when cold the Glow plug coil light does not illuminate and randomly while driving it comes on for a period of time then goes out.

Car can be tough to start off first crank subsequent cranks starts immediately. All Glow plugs have been replaced.

Thanks

If you think the glow plugs are a problem...then test to see if they are working.

The relay,, and/or the wiring to it. The main heavy gauge wire can get hot and burn.The small multi plug can get green.While your there check all the other multi plugs,earths etc for clean good connections. Remember it's all 18 years old.

I saw this thread the other day and had to stop and think about this... the car is 28!
(and hoping Op has had some luck? Spring is coming though so may become a problem for next winter wink)
