Possibly relay, not a big deal 100 qiud ish from dealer
Need a star to plug in to determine if any glow plugs are faulty-replace those if light still on....relay
Mercedes ML 350 , E220 cabriolet Amg premium plus , Porsche 968 sports
Sounds more like a faulty glow plug , had this problem a few times either my GL , everything was a warranty thankfully as it was in the first 3 years and less than 15000 miles
Took it to a local mechanic today, he plugged it up and it showed a glow plug is down on cylinder 3.
So going to fit all 6 glow plugs this week to be done with it.
