Hi,
I have been told that the glow plugs on the PX 3.2 also work at times other than startup.
Is this correct

Late reply, but apparently after starting they enter an "after-glow" phase up to 2500 rpm, with duration depending on temperature (like, up to 30 seconds at -20C). Not 100% sure on the PX, but that's the PX2 info.

Early engine calibrations did have this issue but I have not seen it with later calibrations. If you are burning up glow plugs then have the engine calibration updated to the latest.
