[Vwdiesel] Glow plug indicator system design?

"Yes, I'm working on just such a design.  A replacement wiring harness
with an LED per plug to monitor whether is it getting current.  I'm

Perhaps if we are really lucky Roger will package his Glow Plug
Monitoring Kit for sale on his awesome webpage! Roger has the ability to
take DYI to the polished/professional level- show car quality! Keep up
the good works Roger!

Yes, I'm working on just such a design.  A replacement wiring harness
with an LED per plug to monitor whether is it getting

current.  I'm currently rounding up the parts to get a prototype built.
Have to get the transmission swapped out first, though.
