Fuel.pressure and glow plug relay

Post by Jameth1980 » Thu Apr 05, 2018 9:00 pm

Couple of problems going on 1st been having glow.plug relay fault changed it cleared codes bit they keep coming back tried 2 different relays and still the same?

Fuel rail pressure 1190 did a leak off two knackered Injectors so swapped out cleared codes drove ok for 5 mins then got up to 3000 revs and fault back again pre supply is at 0.9 bar then at idle 3.7 so assume that's not the problem any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers James

1- Did you change the glowplugs

2- Have you replaced the fuel filter, if the pre fuel pressure is ok at low revs, the fuel starvation at higher revs will drop rail pressure.
