Well now it's definatly winter and my glow plugs need cycling pretty much everytime I start my car.

I've noticed of the last day or two I'm getting a chime while they are cycling. Is this normal b/c I don't remeber it last winter. The chiming stops when I start the car and I'm not getting any lights come on while driving.

So what's up?

Mine chimes to let me know to put my seatbelt on. The chime lasts about as long as the glow plug indicator on colder mornings.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have a feeling that's what it is. Because I don't usualy put my belt on until I've started the car, and just recently the glow plugs have actually had to cycle so I'm just noticing it.

Ohh well I feel dumb now
