Hi I'm new here, just bought a CRD and have a question: When starting I'm not seeing the glow plug indicator light on the instrument panel, is this a normal thing - or - should I take it in?

Thanks in advance and nice site!

This time of year you might see the light for a very brief moment - if at all. If it is starting O.K. I would say you're fine. An actual glow plug failure will trigger the check engine light.

05 Limited CRD. Bought it new. 112k on the clock now.

GDE Eco-tune, rear differential drain plug (drilled and tapped the pumpkin), transmission pan drain plug, Fumoto oil valve, fuel filler neck restriction removed, front hitch, Hayden fan clutch, Sears P1 battery since 08, Mobil 1 5w40, 5 volt glow plugs, DIY timing belt at 109k

it probably goes off by the time all the other idiots lights go off

Mine is never on for more than half a second, and then only in the mornings.

ORM, air filter mod, and less restrictive exhaust has increased my 'everyday' driving 3 mpg.

I tried it out this morning, it was a little cooler out, and saw the GP idiot Lt flash. Thanks for the help.

According to the owners manual, the longest the light will stay on is 2 seconds...I guess that would happen on the coldest of days.
