Car Forum / Citroen Cars / November 2004Diesel warming in Picasso?
I wonder if it's normal to NEVER see the diesel preheating light in a Xsara Picasso? Mine never lights up, and I have checked the bulb by swapping with the one next to it and it's fine. Should I book it in for a service, or is this common? Think it needs to be very cold before it comes on in the modern 2.0 HDi engines. My Berlingo has never lit up either - and it starts almost instantly. IM > I wonder if it's normal to NEVER see the diesel preheating light in a Xsara > Picasso?

The Picasso HDI will put its glow plug light on, but, it is on for so little time, the filament in the bulb won't begin to glow. If I remember correctly, I read somewhere at zero degrees, the HDI glow plugs work for a quarter of a second. When it was cold last year, I saw the briefest glimpse of light when turning the key. The car statrted perfectly. Thanks folks. I saw it briefly this morning. Panic over!

The heater light will come on very briefly. Depending on outside temp.Only on VERY cold mornings ie -4 deg c last winter just a couple of seconds.In our normal British climate you will assume it does not work. >I wonder if it's normal to NEVER see the diesel preheating light in a Xsara > Picasso?
