Any thought guys? I've got a 12 months warranty on the car, would this be covered? How serious is it.....

Thanks In Advance

Just spoke to a mate who owns a Golf Mk4 150 TDI

He says that in short it would just be a little rough starting, that the cylinder would not warm up properly. Which to be fair, it has been.

He thinks it could also be possibly a one off ECU fault that hasn't cleared?

Just found this?

Guess he is spot on? £5 for a glow plug apparantly lol?

Registred copy? I take it I've bought a pirate copy then?

Hi Guys

Digging up an old thread here. I've had an auto-electrician look at my car since changing the glowplugs has not cleared the fault. He's not entirely sure but he believes the fault is with the control unit for the glow plugs.

Does this make sense to anyone having changed all the glowplugs allready and still getting the original error.

I'm looking at £160 for new glowplugs, new control unit and labour. I can't get any guarantee that this will clear the error it seems and they are not that confident.

Thoughts?

I'm willing to pay it if it needs to be done.

Yes several times. The error is regenerated each time after a couple of hours.

Sorry to keep flogging a dead horse here. This is taking a long to time for me to sort out.

I had the local garage have a look at my car for the wiring harness. He wasn't to sure how far back hte wiring loom went from the glow plugs to wherever they wen't.

Does anyone have an idea how much this will cost me to replace the wiring harness? What it is exactly and where it does? More importantly where can I purchase one from?

Would I be better off having a Seat Dealer do this? Bearing in mind I hate main dealers with a passion.

Thanks a bunch!

That being said, from reading this Chap's problem could it just be a daft fuse?
