Hello,

I have a 2003 Renault Clio 2th gen with a 1.5 dCi engine,this is the 64hp version. My problem is that the glow plug light is constantly on, it came on while I was driving out of nowhere.
Since then I noticed the idle revs are constantly at 1000 RPM instead of the regular 800 RPM, the car is not very responsive and it is jerky at accelerations. However when I press the brake pedal, the idle revs drop back to 800 RPM. I have a new battery in it so I cannot really comment on this, but maybe it is also harder to start. But winter is coming and it will tell.
