    I would like to know when 1, 2 or 3 candles are heating because I checked today at -6 and there is electricity to two, but they are burned, and the one that is just good has no electricity, or did anyone have that? Is something broken? Is it supposed to be like that?

    I connected a light from the bulb to each of the candles and I have it in the cabin and I can see when it turns on and when it goes out and today the current on 2 candles was about 1 minute after firing and was until the engine reached 74c.

    So it should be, sustained heat system, signal taken from engine temperature sensor. Now, only use the cables to determine where the electricity disappears for the others.

    What does this mean? That 2 heat up and 3 don't? And what do you mean by writing the rest?

    Replace the burned candles, the third candle heats up additionally and only keeps the engine cold and the alternator efficient.

    Candles replaced. There are 4 fuses in the ECU box, 2 large and two small ones, one 15a, the other 25a, and what are they from? Because that 25a was burned.

    Hello. 15a powers the engine equipment, and 25a fuse the second coolant circuit of the glow plugs. The large 50a supplies the 1st coolant circuit.

    So this is how the fuse is replaced and all 3 are working, and it looks like that about 1 minute after firing it turns on, one moment heats up and turns off, then two turn on and somewhere after a while this one lights up and all 3 heat up to about 73C.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the heating conditions of glow plugs (candles) in an Audi A4 B5 1.9 TDI AFN at -6°C. The user observed that two glow plugs were burned out while the third one had no electricity. Responses clarified that the glow plugs operate based on engine temperature and alternator load, with relays controlling their activation. It was suggested to check the relays and ECU for errors, as well as to replace the burned glow plugs. After replacing the fuses and glow plugs, the user confirmed that all three plugs were functioning correctly, heating up sequentially to approximately 73°C after engine start.
