Expert auxiliary heater problem

Auxiliary heater won't activate on my 2004 Peugeot Expert gasoline. It's got 226911 km on the clock and the error memory has stored an error. I've checked the obvious things like fuses.

Interesting. I had a similar problem with my Expert. It wasn't exactly the same, but the symptoms sound familiar. Have you checked the glow plugs? Sometimes a defective glow plug can cause issues with the auxiliary heater.

Glow plugs, huh? I hadn't thought of that. Where exactly are they located, and is it something I could potentially check myself, or am I better off taking it to a mechanic? Is it a difficult job to do? I'm decent enough with tools.

They're usually located near the heater unit itself. Honestly, while you could technically check them yourself with a multimeter, it can be a bit fiddly if you're not familiar with auto electrics. Given the error code and the fact it's the auxiliary heater playing up, my advice would be to take it to a trusted workshop. I eventually had to do that and they found it was a faulty glow plug and some minor coolant leak. They fixed it and it cost me around 440€.

Thanks for the advice! I'll get it booked in at a local garage then; sounds like it could be the glow plugs, like you said. Hopefully, it's a relatively simple fix. I appreciate the help!
