Hey, thanks for your quick reply. My SpaceTourer is the 2.0 Blue HDi version. I have about 18060 KM on it now and the last service was about 2000 KM ago. The light that comes on is the yellow engine light. I think I'll follow your advice and visit the garage, although I hope there's nothing more serious to come. Keep your fingers crossed!

Hey, no problem, always happy to help! I had one just like that, the 2.0 Blue HDi version I mean. With my yellow engine light, it was definitely the glow plug. Your mileage isn't that high yet, so maybe it's not as much wear as mine, but I wouldn't bet on it. It's best to go to the garage as soon as possible so they can check whether it's really just the glow plug or perhaps something else. I was lucky, in my case it really was just the glow plug. And yes, I'll definitely keep my fingers crossed that it's nothing major. Keep us posted and good luck!

Thank you very much, you have really helped me a lot! I will follow your advice and take the car to the garage as soon as possible. Hopefully it really is just the glow plug and nothing more serious. I'll keep you posted as soon as I have any news. Thanks again and keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hi there, I recently had exactly the same phenomenon with my 2014 Citroën Berlingo. Even though I'm rather clueless when it comes to cars, it was definitely the glow plug that was defective - my garage mechanic found this out. The wear was probably just too great. The repair costs amounted to 560 euros. To fix the problem, they simply replaced the glow plugs in the workshop. I think it's very important that you take your car to a garage as soon as possible before anything else breaks. Can you provide a little more information? For example, the exact model and which check engine light is illuminated? Then I might be able to help you more precisely. Good luck with it!
