And it is an activate fault but only plug 1 is listed.
Sounds like a good plan. Be prepared that something may go wrong though. I’d say I have trouble with maybe 1 in 5 BMWs but if they’re careful and patient it just takes extra time. I’ve only ever had to remove the cylinder head on one car because of it and that was a Peugeot not a BMW.

Just to clarify what I mean about activation fault rather than active fault. The actual code is glow plug activation cyl 1 rather than glow plug cyl 1 - active. The former is a glow plug module fault, the latter is a faulty glow plug if that makes sense.
