Fuses and relays..........where do i go???

[dan7]

I own a mk3 diesel as well as a mk2 gti. thing is, i need to replace the glow plug control unit. ive got a price from the main stealers. thing is, ive gone to look for it above the fuse panel where i was told it was, and it aint there! does ANYBODY know where this 2 inch by 1 inch box is? i saw from the one in the dealers, it looks like its going to have some pretty heavy gauge cable going to it! screw connectors and the such..................................................HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!

According to haynes the unit is above the relays. from memory that means you'll have to remove the whole lower part of the dash to get near it.

My instruction manual (the one that comes with the car) sais its, "in the engine compartment on the bulkhead above the brake servo". 

Hope this helps mate.
