Renault Kangoo 1.5 DCi 2006 - Glow plug light coming on #

Posted by Dominic Casey on July 16, 2011, 10:13 am

Year of Manufacture *: 2006
Engine Size and Code *: 1.5 dci 60 K9K702

Hi all had the above vehicle in for service,the guy said on occasion his glow plug warning light comes on and the vehicle looses power.Didn't get any codes think it might have been somewhere else and they cleared them thinking it might solve the problem.The light is on now but the vehicle is running fine.Fuel filter changed on service and EGR valve looks good too.Any help on this would be great as I'm a bit in the dark on it.

Thanks in advance
Dominic

Hi Dominic,

>>>The light is on now but the vehicle is running fine.<<<

Are you saying that the MIL is on but there are no codes present?

Hi Mark thanks for your reply.No the MIL light was never on I just scanned the vehicle to see if anything showed up.Its just the glow plug light that comes on at times and is accompanied by a lack of power.But as i said its on now and the vehicle is fine.Strange one !

Hi Dominic, I think you will find that the glow plug light also doubles as a management light, What did you code read it with, ?? If you code read it with "Anything" other than a dealer tool then I wouldn't trust the results,( If you must use aftermarket tools then compare the results from at least 2 or 3 which really defeats the object of using that type of tool )

As you may have noticed, I have fallen out with my Solus But also I Do not trust any scan tool completely, Its really unbelievable what different results you can get from different scanners, I code read a Smart four four last week after another garage had code read it with KTS with 2011 Software, The KTS came up with a code for "DEFECTIVE ECU", So I code read it with a Star machine and it came up with " Throttle sensor and MAP sensor fault codes. ??

We also compared KTS on a Vectra C (I think it was )for a intermittent fault, KTS had come up with "NO CODES STORED" and Tech 2 came up with a rail pressure monitoring fault. ???

How Companies like these can get the software so way off the mark is unbelievable.

I don't think the customer would be really happy with me fitting a new ecu only to find out that it only needed a throttle pedal sensor. ?? And Who would the Customer blame for doing the incorrect Diagnosis. ?? BOSCH,DEC, HANNATECH, SNAPON. ? ...............NO its that Tony Bloody Sefton that got it wrong and Charged me all those £££££££££££££ The B?sta?d

So in short, I would try a different code reader. ( Sorry to have ranted on )

It Might even show no fault codes, But at least it confirms your previous diagnosis.

H.T.H Tony.

Hi Dominic,
What are you using to retrieve fault codes?
