I have a transporter which keeps throwing a fault for cylinder one glow plug. Cutting a long story short I have discovered when the glow plug is installed, the resistance in the plug rises from around 1 ohm to around 3 ohms hence the fault code appearing. Now, the bit I don't understand! If I slacken the glow plug off by around around half a turn or so the resistance changes to what it should be at around 1 ohm. Obviously I have tried a glow plug.
