Injector fault light on 1st startup then goes off

Postby Dboyleggy » Mon May 06, 2013 5:30 pm

Hi everyone.

I searched for the answer on here already but no topics came up....

I have a 1.5dci megane which in 1st start up in the morning takes a few goes and writes up injector fault

It has been serviced over a month ago, has had the glow plugs changed as well but still does it.

It cannot be a injector as when it is running, drives absolutely perfect.

Any ideas what else it could be as I am now stumped?

Best regards

This is a standard symptom of a glow plug or anything in its circuit. The glow plugs are only used when the engine is cold.

On the other hand, it can be something else. You need to read the fault code while the engine is still running. It will give you a hint. People often use ELM327 OBD interface from ebay, or many good garages do it for free.
