Have a P1261 code coming up on dash with check engine light. Vehicle seems to be operating properly. Does anyone know what this code means and what may need to be done?
I have 149M on my 05 CRD and just got this code a few weeks ago. It doesn't seem as if anything is wrong as I have no problem starting even in this cold Wisconsin weather ...but I've read that the glow plugs can go bad. I went to my dealer last week and they advised that I "keep driving" as long as I'm having no issues...but I hate doing that. They were concerned with stripping the threads if they attempted to change them out. My independent shop told me that wasn't an issue as they could always "repair" the threads. Any advice as to whether I should go through with replaces the glow plugs ...and will this solve the issue? Thanks
Get it fixed. If the ceramic tip breaks off you are going to need to pull the head. Spray break free on the plugs and let it soak. Lost kjs has a good write up in the crd tech section.
