Laguna fault code any idea what it is?

squibbs25

Hi guys,
My friend has a Laguna that has developed a fault, she took it to a garage and fault code df017 is coming up but for some reason the mechanic said his machine can't read it so she's better off taking it to Renault.
Any idea on what the fault code is.
She's scared of taking it to the main dealer because last time it took them 2 attempts to get car sorted. (Said it was one thing when it was something completely different) and she desnt want to waste money again.
Many thanks

Find a local specialist.

Is this a diesel car ?
if so it usually refers to the glow plug module.
Cheaper to buy a new one and plug it in than mess about.

^^^what he said.

Sounds like a dodgy glowplug, they can go faulty after a few years.

Telltale is when it's difficult to start from stone cold.
