Captur preheating lamp issue

I had a comparable issue with my previous BMW 3 Series. The engine light was on constantly and the car seemed to have issues with fuel efficiency. The error codes pointed towards the glow plugs. Have you noticed any engine misfires or rough idling, particularly when the engine is cold?

Thank you for your input. I haven't observed any noticeable engine misfires or rough idling. However, the fuel efficiency does seem slightly reduced. Could the glow plugs be the sole cause, even without the other symptoms?

In my case with the BMW, the engine misfires were subtle at first. Eventually, they became more pronounced. Given your reduced fuel efficiency and the error code, it's highly probable that the glow plugs are indeed the primary culprit. I would suggest a visit to a workshop for a proper diagnosis.

I appreciate the advice. I took it to the workshop, and as suspected, the glow plugs were defective. The total repair cost came to 440€. Thank you for confirming my suspicion.
