Hi all
I have a 2009 outlander 2.0 DID - the vw sourced engine. Its been running bad and has got to the state of almost limp home mode. Very light throttle was OK but anything else gace judder, hesitation, misfire. Initially my obd scanner wasn't connecting then not picking anything up. There was no engine management light. Eventually scanner brought up 2 lots of errors for all four glowplugs.
I have replaced the glow plugs today. Its better but far from right. Its still showing one bank of codes for all four plugs and i cant clear rhe codes.
Any ideas, its giving codes p0671 to p0674. I was wondering glow plug relay. Any thoughts ?

 

I wouldn’t have thought that glow plugs would cause poor running. They only really affect start up when cold. I would be more inclined to check either the fuel filter then the EGR valve. Is there any smoke coming from the exhaust? This could indicate an issue with the fuel injectors or possibly the turbo.

 

No real smoke, a bit of a puff of smoke on start up but that's it
