If there are no other engine faults present - then yes.

Along fault codes there would be more detailed data - which Carista strips off, unfortunately.
E.g. below"MIL ON" = here the yellow submarine light

Hi, I have the same fault P0672 on a generic reader, is this likely a single glow plug fault or a wiring fault? @DanPlumber what was your fix? Main dealer and cost, mines in for cam belt etc tomorrow so will add it to the list...TIA

@Morrispd apologise for the late reply
