Service broke tip off glow plug, then installed new plug, took for 80mph test drive. Vehicle went into limp mode, multiple engine codes. Checked turbo, service said looked "fine". Said all it needed was major computer update. ???

Service stated engine code was from a glow plug that was bad. Replaced glow plug under warranty (11,000 miles only) and test drove it - threw more codes and went into limp mode. They discovered end of glow plug had broken off and is possibly keeping the EGR valve from closing. Ordered new EGR valve to install.

In shop over 2 months. Would not start sporadically. Replaced fuse box, wire harness, ignition relay, ignition switch. Multiple codes that could not reproduce in shop once vehicle left. Towed twice and brought in under own power 3 times. Service still does not know if they have fixed problem.
