activa Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Had this flash up on the Golf(PD 02)this morning and ever since,the glowplug light has been flashing constantly while driving. Turned the car off,restarted it and got the same warning message again and the glowplug light flashed all the way home. Anyone got any ideas as to what my next big bill's gonna be?

Mook Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 It could be something simple - it's really hard to say without plugging it into the diagnostics. Try to find someone with a VAG-COM - this will tell you straightaway. It's VWs way of getting you back to the dealer so they can make up a story and tell you that they've had to replace the widget, the gadget and the main sprocket flange, when in fact it was just a blown fuse...

[/ QUOTE ] Why does this stink of the truth when it's meant to be a joke! I just panicked a bit because that warning sounds serious,when like you say,it may just be something simple. The car is driving perfectly which makes me think(hope)that it may not be as bad as I first thought. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulkbear Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Have you checked your brake lamps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activa Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Good call Mulk, I just checked 'em and the tailgate one is working but neither of the two other brake lights are doing a thing. I've checked the bulbs and they look OK,could it be a switch or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
