L300 2.5D Glowing problems - buzzer sound
Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 7:10 am
I've a glow-peroblem with my L300 D2.5, built 1996.
Normally theres a click when you turn the key, the indicator light glows a few seconds (depending on the temperature)
and after a second click and the light is off.
Now you hear a kind of buzzing for a few seconds, seems to come from the right side under the front bench
(the car has left-steering) and the indicator light "glows" only (not as bright as normal)
Seems a relais is switching rapidly on/off.
Glow plugs have been replaced, the small preheat-relais also - but no improvement.
I read about an control unit for pre- and pastglowing - maybe the error ist in there?
Is anybody able to identify the problem/sound and the defect component to replace?
Kind regards from Germany, Dennis
