Hi,
> Errr emissions?
Nope. anyway won't be checked until next inspection, due in late June.
My "first fail" (after 8 years and over 60,000 miles I'm driving it) was a
glow plug, burnt out in short circuit (gasp !). A very rare fail (they
usually tend to present a higher and higher resistance, this making the
engine starting poorly).
If anyone interrested, when turning on the ignition, glow light came on as
usual, then off after about 1-2 seconds (I didn't care : I've been so used
to see the light on, and I also use to fasten my seat-belt while glowing
up).
Of course, bad bad start (20 miles 4 hours ago, not that warm then).
Diagnose it : 0V at the relay's power output, glow plugs wire removed :
light on and 12V, plus a big flash when trying to plug the wire "on the
fly".
I was angry, as the glow plugs set was only 2 years old. Really a pity, as
they were Bosch-made.
Regards,
