Flashing glow plug light whilst driving.
« on: 23 December 2012, 17:32 »
A bit of help please folks, as per the title. It starts and drives fine and all of a sudden the light for the glow plug is flashing! Is it a case of replacing the plugs or is there more to it?

Cheers

Umm, no idea. Look in the manual, better yet get it scanned. No idea I'm afraid  :undecided:

9/10 times your brake light switch has failed behind the brake pedal

Approx £10 and 5 minutes to replace

A VAGCOM scan will confirm or have a mate check your brake lights  :wink:
