Diesel heater won´t start V70-XC70 2004

posted by  someone claiming to be Gustafkalle on  Mon Dec 29 15:47 CST 2008 [RELATED]

Car is a 2.4 D(iesel) with diesel engine pre-heater (runs on fuel to pre-heat engine and passenger compartment; for reduced fuel consumption and for the benefit of passenger comfort). Now, this guy just suddenly won´t start (normally done by setting time in info window in left-hand side of instr panel). The "warning triangle" between main instruments also briefly flashes it´s exclamation mark, nothing else happens, no obvious fault codes, nothing.

The fuse in the regular fuse panel under hood is ok. Is there any way of getting fault ocdes without OBD reader, for this? Is the glow coil/stick a goner, and is it easy to replace? Car has about 120 k miles on ODO.

    Hi, there are some primary reasons why not to start like low battery and low fuel. next one can check activation of Airtronic's fuel pump, blower and glow stick getting power. I these get power the glow stick may be clogged and is to be changed. If the fault is not this apparent one should google airtronic for maintence pdf and deeper information. There is the main fuse about 25A for operation and an additional fuse 5A for activation in the typical installation.

      Thanks for input. Battery is OK, there is enough diesel in tank etc, all those things that you normally get fault codes for, when anything amiss, are OK. 25 amp fuse already checked and is OK.
      However, I did not know there is a 5 amp fuse also. Is it among the other fuses or in a separate place?
