🔧 Audi Q3 – Engine Management Light Diagnosed & Repaired 🔧
This Audi Q3 came into us with the engine management light illuminated.
After carrying out a full diagnostic check and testing the system, we traced the fault to Cylinder 1 glow plug. 🔍
Now, this glow plug was VERY tight! 😬
Glow plugs can be a bit of a nightmare when they refuse to come out. If one snaps during removal, it can quickly turn into a much bigger job — potentially even requiring cylinder head removal. 😩
Thankfully, after getting the engine really warm and taking our time, we successfully removed the old glow plug and fitted a new one without any drama. 🙌
✅ Fault diagnosed & tested
✅ Cylinder 1 glow plug replaced
✅ No broken glow plug!
✅ Engine management fault rectified
✅ Final checks carried out
Another job completed without turning a relatively simple repair into a cylinder-head-off nightmare! 😅🔧
