preheat circuit problem

montycarlo · 02-08-2011, 03:23 PM

I think we have a problem with daughters car, this morning it took a couple of spins to start it, so today I had a look at the heater plug circuit, I took off the lead to one plug and attached a voltmeter to the lead and other lead to earth. To my surprise I had a voltage of 10volts, surprise because the ignition wasn't on. That can't be right can it?. Seems like a constant drain on the battery.

Any ideas? any help would be appreciated as I know there are experts here.

Risky1,

ah that's a good one, its a French make but not a Pug, have to admit it's a Clio 2004 with 1.5dci engine (but I have a 3008 if that passes) was hoping the problem would not be specific to Pugs just diesels.
