Hi Guys, Just seeking some input although I have done some searching myself. I bought my car about a year ago and as soon as I bought it the engine management light came on. VAG-COM showed that there was an intermittant glow plug electrical fault. I've reset it a few times to see what...

I've just had a 105bhp head put on my 130 block, obviously had the 130 injectors put in the head but never changed the glow plugs because the head is quite new. Now it sounds like i'm starting the car on ancient glow plugs...like when you turned the key on old diesels before the glow plug...

Hey guys, | Ive got a Seat Leon FR : 56 Plate | Any idea's on this one? I was driving on the M62, around 80 mph (as you do :( ) On the dash, the Glow plug light started flashing, then lost car power? slowly it died down, I pulled over onto hard shoulder, switched off the engine and on again...

Hi :) I've done a search on glow plug and the problems seem to be with the light coming on and flashing, mines not doing that exactly. With mine, if I put the engine under heavy load the car stops accelerating (but maintains current speed) and the glow plug light flashes very briefly and...
