Trafic glow plug issue

Alright, Renault Trafic gurus, I need some help! My 2023 Trafic diesel is throwing a fit. Got about 75k km on it. The glow plug preheating light just won't turn off, and there's an error code stored. Sounds like the glow plugs, right? Anyone else had this happen? What a pain!

I've got a Trafic and yeah, that sounds familiar. Had a similar issue a while back. Engine light was on too, and it was running a bit rough at idle, almost misfiring. Was yours doing that too?

Rough idle and misfiring, eh? Hmm, I haven't noticed that specifically...yet. But the light is on constantly. What ended up being the problem with yours?

Turned out to be a dodgy glow plug. Replaced it, and the light went off, the engine ran smooth again. Honestly, with that kind of error and mileage, and the symptoms you described it sounds like it's worth paying a visit to the workshop before your diesel car's engine light turns to a bigger issue. Cost me about 440€, all in.

Cheers for the info! Sounds like I'm off to the garage then. Good to have a heads-up on the likely cost. Much appreciated!
