Post by: whiter_than_white on 04 August 2010, 14:15

posting on behalf of a collegue, he's got a W plate golf 115bhp tdi which wont start  :sad: all dash lights come on but no glow plug light, now its had no trouble starting before and if the ignition is cycled on and off a few times the glow plug light will come on and it will start.
any ideas what could be at fault??

cheers in advance

I have a similer problem to this my car starts though (thankfully) but when i turn the key so that the various lights come on then quickly go out the glow plug light seems to stay on for around 15-25 seconds then goes out is this just gonna be a case of replace the relay and plugs ?

your problem is relay number 109, bad connections or a faulty relay. chnage relay and check connections problem solved.  :smiley:
