  I had this problem in my 85 Jetta as well.  First thing that that helped
was to drain the water separator.  Cleaning grounds, alternator connections,
etc., also helped.  The final fix came when the glow plug relay stuck on.  I
replaced the glow plug relay and never saw the glow plug light come on when
it shouldn't, after that.
