Is there any way to disable or change the glow plug check using VCDS? I have changed the glow plugs and harness but still have a fault on plug 3 and would like to disable the check or alter the tolerances to stop the engine management light coming on.

Cant Help but just checking on the web and a number of people are saying its not always the Glow plugs that are causing the issue have you run a full scan of the car to see if there are any fault codes.

It is glow plug 3 but the glow plug has sheared, it's not worth the risk of drilling it out as I don't expect the car will last that much longer.
So I just need to know if there is a way to turn off the check for that plug or alter the glow plug check in VCDS

Nothing you can do with VCDS, the DTC will need removing from the ECU, basically a 'remap'
