    Actually my mother's car.
    Skoda Fabia 1.9 TDI and when it's running after about 30sec the glowplug light begins to flash. Nothing in the car manual to show what's wrong. I looked on my mate's Octavia service manual and it says the light should flash if there's a fault in the system.....hmmmm :dunno:

    All the bulbs on on the car seem ok so I'm stumped.
    Any ideas?

    If the "glow plug" light is flashing while driving, check your brake lights! The brake light circuit is monitored by the engine electronics and this is the warning signal used in this case (among others). Burned out brake light bulbs will cause this symptom, as will a faulty or improperly adjusted brake light switch or a blown fuse for the brake lights.

    I checked the lights yesterday and all seemed grand but mind you that was in the daytime. Will check the fuses later today. Thanks ;)
