-8

[OdinEidolon]

-7 last night when I took the dogs out for their evening constitutional - the glow plug warning light stayed on for nearly a whole second.

Eric, at that temp the light should stay on 5 secs if I remember the manual correctly!

Got my glowplug light on for 0.5s this morning, -2°c

My car is abit slow turning over, so I think before next winter I'l have to get a new battery.

I thought there was something wrong with my glow plugs or the light, even at -8 i dont think it came on for more than a second.

VI - PREHEATING OPERATION
The preheating time varies as a function of coolant temperature.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE PREHEATING TIME
- 25°C 15 seconds
- 18°C 10 seconds
- 10°C 0.5 seconds
- 1°C 0.5 seconds

VII - HEATING OF THE PLUGS WHILST CRANKING
During the cranking phase, the plugs are energised in the following cases:
· coolant temperature below 25°C?
· engine speed less than 70 rpm for 0.2 seconds.
Note: After the LED extinguishes, if the starter motor is not operated, the preheater
plugs remain energised for a maximum of 10 seconds.

VIII - POSTHEATING OPERATION
Postheating can extend the operation of the plugs after the cranking phase.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE POSTHEATING TIME
- 25°C 180 seconds
17°C 180 seconds
19°C 400 seconds
25°C 400 seconds
50°C 0 seconds
Parameters which can interrupt postheating:
· coolant temperature above 50°C,
· engine speed above 1500 rpm.
