Engine not turning smoothly Vectra 2.0TDI (74kW)

Hi,



I have a new problem with my vectra. (Maybe I should sell it).



Yesterday, when starting the car, the engine errorlight came on. I felt the motor was shaking very lightly. When I looked at the dash, I saw that the illumination of the kilometrage was not stable, it was getting brighter en less bright at the rhythm of the engine... After running a few kms and restarting the car, everything seems normal. This morning, I had the same thing...



I will take the car to Opel to read the code, but has anyone already an idea of what could be wrong?



To weeks ago, the spillpipes and the exhaust (rear end) where replaced...


I've red the error code and it says "Glow Relais"

I've replaced it with a new one but this morning I've had the same problem and error code. I've red a earlier post about this problem.

errorcode in my garage was in Dutch, the error code in the other thread is glowplug control unit error. Is this the same error as mine? Could it be caused by bad glowplugs?

Thanks

One other thing....

Two of the wires that got to the glow plug are full of oil/grease (the two that are underneath the turbocompressor), the other two are as dry as can be. Can this cause any problems?
