Glow plugs on these are controlled by control module,
not a relay,
and by temp sensor do you mean the coolant temperature sensor?
so the fact that the lamp light in the morning leads me to suspect a fault in the coolant temperature sensor.
guessing the sensor you changed was for the gauge.

Relay control is from the ECU,
Which takes it's control signals from the coolant temperature sensor which then decides if glow control is used or not.
so If everything you changed hasn't altered the glow time I be checking the ECU.
But you'd need Vaux software for that.
the software has a function to activate the relay for test purposes.
