Citroen C3 Parking Heater Fault

Hi, I have a 2005 Citroen C3 gasoline with 201895 km. The parking heater won't activate and there's an error stored. Suspect glow plug. Anyone seen this?

Summary of the thread

A 2005 Citroen C3 owner reported a parking heater fault, suspecting the glow plug as the issue. Another individual suggested checking the heating system fuse and considering a coolant leak as potential causes. The original problem was confirmed to be a defective glow plug after a workshop diagnostic.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had a similar issue on my C3. Is the blower motor running at all? Check your heating system fuse first. Could also be a coolant leak affecting the aux heater's performance.

Blower seems fine. Coolant level is good too. Where is the aux heater fuse located? I'm leaning towards the glow plug being the issue.

The fuse box diagram should be in your owner's manual. Given the symptoms, a defective glow plug is plausible. Honestly, at that mileage, I'd recommend having a workshop run a diagnostic. They can pinpoint the exact fault. In my case the bill came to 440€

Thanks. Glow plug was indeed the culprit. Workshop confirmed. Appreciate the advice!
