Early models didn’t have a Glow Plug Light, just a slight delay from pressing start to when it cranked, the 07 plate one I had didn’t, the MY11 did though, also had a message appear regarding cranking will start when ready or something similar.

My SE 07 has the light, lefthand side of the facial, only stays on for a second or so then fires up. REME .. Rough Engineering Made Easy |

My 07 GLS has the glow plug light, my glow plugs do need replacing but still get the light.

My 07 GS has a glow plug light, just doesn’t start well in this really cold weather so they probably need changing this summer! |

My 07....you guessed it. With the extra delayed start I also saw a message displayed for the first time saying 'Cranking Will Commence After Glow Period'.

When I looked at this video I was thinking something is strange/wrong. I knew I had seen the glow light, I checked it this morning and then noticed it is is on a different location.

Why does the glow plug light not come up on “ignition on” along with all the other warning lights? Surely the best start-up sequence is one that puts all warnings on as a system check, then all off as a “all-functioning normally” confirmation? 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

The car decides itself if glow plug's are required that's why you only see it when it's really cold. |
