    Hi
    I just manage replace glow plugs (all 4, but only one was faulty).
    When I start car, “check engine” warning light stil presents.
    I use OBDeleven to clear faults. I start engine 2x and check engine is off (I hope it will be off).
    My question is:
    Do I need clear fault after replace glow plug, or computer in car should clear this fault by self. 
    Thanks.

    You need to reset the error after replacing the plugs, if the error has not gone away, there may be problems not only in the glow plugs, you need to contact the service centre for a complete diagnosis.

      Thanks.
      Fortunately, error has gone. I check glow plugs and one (first cylinder – as shown on OBDeleven) and that one was gone (open circuit).
      I replace all 4.
      3 days many time starter engine, no fault.
