"pull your pants down"?????? LOL. some sort of new VW fetish???LOL

the glow plug light probably means that the plugs have had it mate (£20-£30 fix if you diY it) but you'd really need to get vag-com plugged in to truely diagnose the engine light.

id try the plugs first, if they havent been done recently, and get a vag-com reset, see how it goes

we had a transporter in work a few weeks ago with the glow plug light on. it turned out to be one of the rear lights out causing it to come on...
