Was driving to work last night, glow plug warning light starts flashing, car goes into limp mode, stop at traffic light, switch engine off/on, light gone, ?odd smell from exhaust.
Drove home this morning with no warning lights, no noticeable issue, not sure if I had a little less power in high revs or if I was imagining things.
This something to worry about? Anyone had a similar issue with a known cause? Seen very mixed and unhelpful results online.
Just a bit of info, for the last 2 months car has only been driven short 3 mile journeys, had no long runs for that duration, not sure if that would affect things
?glow plug issue?
