Thanks. How did you diagnose the faulty relay in your Astra? Was there a specific procedure, or was it a process of elimination?

The mechanic used a multimeter to test the relay and found it wasn't providing power to the glow plugs. Given your error code, a workshop diagnostic check is best. I paid around 350€ for parts and labor.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to a workshop and it was a defective glow plug, like I thought. Repair cost 440€. Thanks again.

I had a similar problem with my Opel Astra, though not exactly the same symptoms. Turned out to be a faulty glow plug relay. Have you checked the relay and the wiring to the heater? Coolant leak could also affect heater performance.
