Twingo Diesel Preheating Lamp Issue

Guys, my 2012 Renault Twingo diesel is giving me headaches. The preheating lamp won't turn off, the check engine light is on, and it's smoking like crazy when I accelerate. I'm pretty sure the glow control unit is defective, probably just a bad connection. Anyone seen this before?

A 2012 Renault Twingo diesel is experiencing issues with the preheating lamp staying on, the check engine light being illuminated, and excessive smoke during acceleration. The suspected cause is a defective glow control unit, possibly due to a bad connection. A diagnostic test and workshop visit confirmed the issue, leading to the replacement of a faulty cable, resolving the problem.

Sounds familiar. I had something similar with my Twingo. Was the vehicle stalling sometimes?

Good question, yes, sometimes it stalls, especially when it is cold. What did you do?

Yep, mine too. Turned out to be what I suspected - glow control unit. Get a diagnostic test to confirm, but likely you'll need to visit a workshop.

Thanks! You nailed it. You were totally right. Workshop confirmed it and replaced the faulty cable. Cost me 95€. Runs like a dream now!
