check injection - warning message

Postby terence4366 » Thu Oct 23, 2008 4:17 pm

The message "check injection" has appeared recently. I have changed the glowplugs but the warning message still shows along with the SERVICE light on. Does anyone have any alternatives to try? The engine runs appears to run perfectly with no loss of power noticeable. The car is a 120 dci Dynamique 03 reg.

I also have this problem on a 53 plate 1.9 DCI, spoke to a friend who said its one or more glow plugs.
Its when the engine is cold first start of the day, if i drive a few miles and stop then restart the light goes off.
I called Renault but they said i will have to book the car in and they will test it & change the plugs £15 each plug plus diagnostics test.
you can buy DENSO or Bosch glow plugs cheaper and fit them yourself, i think that's what i will do.
Ill post the results when done.

pj,
The original glow plugs are BERU GN 018, 0 100 226 373, GSF part R18822 (if they still sell them). Two years ago they were about £7 from GSF.

Hi got BERU Plugs from GSF £8.70 each plus VAT.
Fitted then in my dinner break, message gone. i was surprised how easy it was, why people take their cars to the main dealer for this i don't know.
Thanks for the tip Alex.
