Seat Tarraco Diesel Preheating Lamp Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2019 Seat Tarraco diesel is experiencing an issue where the preheating lamp does not switch off, potentially due to a defective glow control unit or faulty connections. This problem may lead to engine light activation, smoke during acceleration, and vehicle stalling, especially during cold starts. The suggested solution is to inspect and repair the glow control unit and its connections, which resolved the issue in a similar case.

Yes, the preheating lamp remained on. Furthermore, the engine light came on, and there was smoke during acceleration. The error code indicates a defective glow control unit. The mileage is 168471 km. Could this be related?

Affirmative. In my case, the defective glow control unit caused similar symptoms. Considering the potential impact on engine performance, is it advisable to consult a workshop to prevent further complications?

Understood. The cable and plug connection of the glow control unit were indeed defective. The repair cost 95€. Thank you for your insight.

I drive a Seat Tarraco too. A similar issue occurred with my vehicle. Was the preheating lamp illuminated even after the engine was warm?
