What does the orange light with a spiral mean in the Citroen C3?
Years 2009-2016

Answer

If in our Citroen C3 the orange warning light representing a spiral has turned on, it means that a malfunction has been detected in one or more glow plugs. In this case the vehicle could exhibit anomalous behavior, especially when starting the engine. Very often the problem can be solved simply by replacing the faulty glow plug, an operation for a few tens of Euros.
