W210 coil lights

[Stuart K]

Hi

Its not casuing me any problems but when I start my E220 CDI (by the way there is never a problem with starting) the coil light in the dash comes on for 20 or 30 seconds ish and then goes out.

What is this about?

One or more of you glowplugs are faulty.

O.K. Thanks.

I'm not very good under the bonet.. are these easy to change?

They are not hard but they tend to snap.

Make sure the engine is hot before you even attempt to remove them. If you are not competant it is best to get someone who is to replace them.

Many thanks.

I guess its worth changing all of them. How many do I have?
