Hello knowledgeable berlingo members,
I have, as many others, the P1351 permanent error. PP2000 (Lexia equivalent reports: pre/post heating relay circuit relay controlled and spark plugs not supplied; Pre-heat relay control - parameter unknown; Preheating relay status - Active.
Car starts and runs fine, but of course it is a bit on the warmer side these days. Have searched the forum, but could not find more detailed information. My car is not a berlingo, but peugeot partner 07reg 1.6hdi (MK2, 9HX engine), but not much of difference I suppose.
Was thinking of having a look tomorrow, e.g. test glow plugs, relay, cables, etc.
Most likely the glow plugs, but will test them.
My questions are:
What are the pitfalls when replacing glow plugs. Have read that they are easy to break or the tip is easy to break. If they break, how would I get them out of the pre-chamber? There was something that you push them in and start the engine and see them fly like bullets. I really would like to avoid that!
My most important question is what torque (i.e. Nm) should I use when screwing them back in. Managed to find some information from Bosch that it is 10Nm in and 8Nm out, but is this correct.
Can I gain access by only removing the air ducts/pipes/MAF and air filter?
When testing the ohms on the glow plugs with a multimeter, where on the engine block to get contact. Is it anywhere on the engine block or it has to be close or somewhere specific.
Any help would be more than appreciated and I mean it. Maybe I am a bit paranoid.
