Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / April 2005ML270 + Glow Plugs
Hi, Recently purchased a 51 plate ML270 and after running it noticed that the glow plug symbol on the dashboard stays on longer than normal on the dash. After about 5 mins the glow plug symbol vanishes. Am somewhat concerned as to what this means so any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers Sidney My E320CDI has suddenly started doing something similar. From cold the glowplug light lights for the normal time of 5-8secs and then goes out; I start the engine; after a second or so the light comes on again and stays on, while the engine is running, for a minute or so. I think the worst that can happen is that the glowplugs will burn out prematurely, but they are relatively cheap to replace. However I would like to know the underlying cause in case it is something sinister.
