Renault Wind parking heater malfunction

Good day, Renault Wind owners. I have a 2013 Renault Wind with a gasoline engine, mileage is at 56322 km. My parking heater cannot be activated, and there's an error stored in the error memory. I suspect a defective glow plug but wanted to know if anyone has encountered a similar problem? Could a coolant leak or climate control issue be related?

Hey there! I also drive a Wind and had something similar happen last winter. The parking heater refused to start and threw an error. Did you notice any issues with the heat control inside the car before the parking heater packed up?

Thanks for the quick response! No issues with the heat control inside, works perfectly. Just the parking heater is giving me grief. Was it definitely the glow plug in your case, or could it be something else like the blower motor?

Yep, pretty sure it was the glow plug, as the workshop confirmed. It's worth getting it checked out professionally, as it could be a bit more complex than just a simple glow plug replacement. They quoted me around 440€ for the repair. Could save you some time and headache.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I'll take it to the workshop and have them check the glow plug and any other potential issues. Hopefully, it will be resolved soon. Will post a resolution after the repair.
