1999 Ford Focus 1.8Tddi Glow Plug Light Flashing

Featured Replies

Hello,

wonder if someone can help, i was happily driving along the motorway and all of a sudden started losing power with the glow plug light flashing, the engine did not switch off and it was still idling just little power, so i switched it off and on again and all fine back to normal ?.

now my clutch does need replacing and is slipping quite a bit could this be the reason, i've checked for any codes using the inbuilt reader ie holding down the trip button etc and it says NO DTC

anyone help, only had the car about a month.

thanks.



When was the fuel filter last changed ?

Unsure on this but the guy i bought it off said it was due a service but he had not done it as he bought a new car, so i think be a good idea to start at new oil, fuel filter and oil filter.

Yes it is - make sure the fuel filter is changed as part of a thorough service & see if there's an improvement & let us know
