[@andyvondeluxe6851]

Had the same thing with my Insignia. I had a main service at Vauxhall but the service light kept coming on when starting the engine. Mine was number 2 glow plug. As soon as I replaced the plug, the service light stopped coming up.

[@andymath1523]

Had service soon on 2014 insignia pressure sense fault was juddering at 2000 rpm plus sometimes lost bit of power read with fault reader was showing faults on all 4 pressure sensors and crank position sense fault . Pulled plugs out thought have go cleaning them because of cost so ultrasonic cleaned them for about 30 in some aggressive cleaning fluid . Loads of black coming out between body n tip even though plug looked very clean refitted cleared codes faults not come back juddering gone and power back well pleased

Thanks I have the same problem and couldn't find the issue on line

[@stevenprestwich521]

Most of the vauxhall when they come up Service vehicle soon is either glow plugs, Dpf or airflow meter at fault, and i think all from 2012 - 2014 had only 2 sensor glow plugs fitted, it's a while ago now but genuine vauxhall sensor glow plugs used to be £75 plus vat

[@flumoxeduk2379]

I'm getting this on mine , but all 4 are pressure sensor

[@Colin6712]

You can get this if one or more heater plug " glow plug" has broken, some have a cylinder pressure sensor built in this is where the error comes from when the sensor breaks

[@BuHeTy]

Guys, yesterday my Zafira 1.6 CNG got that code and got in limp mode. After second re-start the message went out and drove it about 150 km. Not problem at all. Tomorrow I will take it for diagnostics and write here as soon as possibe what was the reason for the faulty code.

[@BuHeTy]

The error was P0301 - cylinder 1 misfire. Till today no problem and the engine works fine.

[@BuHeTy]

So after another misfire the mechanik is going to replace the CNG injector for 1st cylinder and the spark plugs for all.

How lucky am I, it looks like my insignia has 4 pressure sensor glow plugs lol back to shop

Hi nice information but my 2009 Vauxhall insignia does the same thing comes vehicle service soon then turns its very frustrating can you guide me please what would be the reason thanks

[@diydaly]

if its not the glow plugs you will need to get a code diagnostic check done see what fault codes are stored, the petrols can suffer with the electronic thermostat.. that puts the same warning on 👍

[@martinhuusfelt1783]

@DIYDaly for the petrol engine will it then throw a code? I don't get any codes so I don't grt what is causing it

Apart from the service message, are there any other indications that the glow plug/s need replacing - I've got the message on my 2015 2.0 CDTi but the car drives without issue?

No that’s it , only other way to check is test them or do a diagnostic check

[@Bethankful214]

Hi mate, I have just had my car plugged in and they said 1 & 4 plug need replacing. all 4 of mine are the pressure ones and been told could be £200 each… can these be swapped to the normal ones as my mate has the exact same car which has all normal plugs? Any help will be appreciated

I’m afraid the connectors are different so you can only replace them for the same style!

sounds like it, what's the exact fault code ?

[@dianeowen930]

1:18 are the glow plugs easy to fix

[@barrygray8356]

Hello mate, if you erase that warning without actually finding out the actual fault, would it reappear? I erased mine and that service vehicle soon warning never came back on. Car starts on the button, power is still there on motorways but only whilst idling I noticed the rpm fluctuates/shakes. I'm beginning to worry a little bit now and kinda regretted I erased that warning before.

[@diydaly]

Yeah usually it’s comes back on fairly quick , might just be a weak glow plugs, in that case it may take a while to come. Back on

[@mchoppy7778]

so do you have to use the pressure glowplugs or can you use 4 standard ones as pressure plugs are very expensive

[@diydaly]

No im afraid you can only use what’s originally fitted due to the connectors

[@thespiritualwayofallthings]

I have a 2013 astra cdti 1.7 d. I have 4 of these glow plugs with semsors, i have changed all of them, but the service light still comes on. Wo dering if its the fact i did it and havent reset the code

[@diydaly]

Yeah It may need clearing ; be interesting to see if they are they only faults logged

[@Rajanasarali]

Hi how do i know which glow plugs do i need?

[@mp420c]

Great video, but from my Opel Astra J Sports Tourer, it only shows some time through driving, and if I stop the car, then restart the engine, the message will not show, and after few days, it shows again, and repeat. So annoying.

[@diydaly]

hmm thats odd, might be worth code reading it first

[@sascha294]

Yeah, it's a bad pressure sensing glow plug. I replaced it and the warning message disappeared right away. No need to clear the codes.

[@diydaly]

nice one, glad you got it sorted 👍👌

[@thespiritualwayofallthings]

Hi mate, ive got a question.. Astra j ecoflex cdti 1.7 2013. long story short, but i fitted a new suction control valve, once on, i started the car up it kept it kept cutting out, tried to rev the car up, wouldn't go past 3000rpm before cutting out, so at that point point i realised i had not used the spacer, so the bolt threads were longer then the previous (heart sinking at this point) so i put my old one back on with threads, started it up at first pretty rough, but then ran fine, got up this morning and service vehicle soon warning on... anyway went for a drive stopped started no warning light (i have just had an issue with glow plugs, and ended up getting all codes cleared, but was also putting out code for oxygen sensor, anyway (sorry) im wondering if i have caused a problem with putting those longer threads in? Bloody annoyed with myself ill say. 😢. Wondered what you think.

[@diydaly]

You should be ok tbh , might have logged some fuel pressure codes.. your just need to get all the codes cleared and see what happens 👍

[@thespiritualwayofallthings]

@diydaly okay bud. Appreciate that mate.

[@paulfoster450]

Why is there 2 pressure glow plugs and 2 none. Should it be all of one or the other

[@diydaly]

No it can vary some have 2/2, some have all 4 pressure sensing or all 4 normal.. not sure ethyl why tbh but it’s the same with the VAG group vehicles

Hi Ken, you will be ok just replacing the 1 if the others are working ok.. the on out thing I will say is just be aware the the 1.3 cdti glowplugs are known for siezing in and can easily snap as they are quite thin compared to some glow plugs ..

@@diydaly thanks for your reply, I took the car to the garage when I got the car and they hooked it up to the computer and told me it was the pdf filter that needed a re-gen so they went ahead and did the re-gen and cleared the service vehicle soon message, I picked the car up and the message was still there when I started the car, I’m tempted to clean the dpf filter myself with dpf cleaner and see if that helps

[@diydaly]

yeah you may need to, did they say that was the only fault logged? DPFs are quite a common issue, The zafira suffer with the Dpf pressure pipes splitting.. Id check them first if I was you.. there will be 1 or 2 pipes coming off the Dpf that go up to the top of the engine bay to a pressure sensor.. they usually melt/split about half way just where the start to go up the back of the engine 👍
