The Mk1 is not wired for diagnostics on the booster heater, so if your "new" MK 2 heater needs codes clearing you cant do it

 

Ahh ok, so If there were any codes that needed clearning how would one do it :), i dont think there are but if there were.

I have twice changed the glow plug on my MK2 and neither time have I had to clear codes or do anything other than put it together and watch it fire up!

When I first had my galaxy I took the heater off the car and took it into an Ebersp

Hi all thought id update on my saga!

 

i had previously cleared the codes with no joy ,but now remember seeing a measuring block reading of about 1500c ,which seemd a bit high to me !

When i strippped it and found i had he plug with wires on there was a bare bit where the insulation was missing (earthing out?),so taped it up and stuck it all back together ,cleared codes agian and its been working since at outside temps of 13c and below. Im prepared to accept that maybe a temp sensor is wrong so will live with that

 

Its only been getting short runs but today went further ,running ariund for about 45 mins .Coming back over the dartford bridge heard a "pop" from the rear n/s, thought it was a coke bottle expanding to be honest ! ,next thing i know cars full of smoke ,its coming up thru the seatbelt in the n/s door pillar .Time to panic ! Checked and no fire got home plugged it in agian and forget to write down the codes ,one was flameout and the other i think was something about a blower, cleared them sat there with the car idling watching the meas blocks go up then down as temp of around 74c was reached

 

do you gurus think I should be ok the leave it connected or just unplug it and freeze,obviously dont want a burnt out car

 

 

ps wheres Miraz lately??
