hi all

wondering if a low battery can throw up glow plug errors on 1 plug? ive recently changed all glow plugs and the module but a few months down the line its showing glow plug code

also if i need to replace the battery would it need codeing etc to the car? and what sort of battery would u recomend agm etc

ive included a few pics of battery details 

thanks in advance

Hi Graham

A healthy Battery should be showing around 12.8v engine off and around 14v engine running. How old is your battery? It may be it just needs a good charge. Check realoem for battery details for your car if matching OEM it may not need registering 

Have you checked the loom for the Glow plugs, our son changed glow plugs twice on his Pick Up Truck then we found there was a chaffed cable in the loom. Worth a look

I changed my X5's battery 2 years ago when it started dying overnight, when I took it out it was the original battery 14years old !! Changed it for a Yusa AGM best deal availble at Halfords on a Sunday.Our son with the Toyota pickup his battery died a 5 years so you never can tell 

Often when people change batteries they will put a larger rated battery into the car thinking it will be better, but all that happens is the battery never achieves full charge.

I would buy the rated battery type shown in realoem then I believe that the E83 X3's did not require battery registration.
