Hey, of course, I remember it well. The repair of the defective control unit alone cost me €575 at the time. Not really cheap, but what can you do, it just had to be done. Since I've been to the mechanic, the problem with the glow plug malfunction has gone away. No more warning lights, no more long cold starts and the black smoke is also gone. So yes, it was money well spent. It is possible that the control unit is also the culprit in your car. I would recommend that you have it checked. See you then and good luck! Let me know how it goes!

Hey, yes, this sounds very familiar, your symptoms are similar to my 2018 Peugeot 3008. It does sound like the control unit is faulty. That was exactly the case for me. The glow plug malfunction was just one of many problems. When I was in the garage at the time, the mechanics discovered that the control unit and not the glow plugs was the actual problem. They had to remove the ECU, check it and ultimately replace it as it had damaged some electronic components. This was a pretty serious problem as it affected the overall performance of the vehicle. It wasn't a quick fix, but it definitely helped. So, in my opinion, you could be right with your guess, but it could also be a different problem. It doesn't have to be the same for everyone. The best thing to do would be to take your car to a specialist and get it checked out properly. Good luck, brother. Let us know how it turns out!
