[Vwdiesel] sudden TDI death

[Shalyn Shourds]

The check engine light is always on anyways.  Bad glow plug harness 
probably (code PO380).  Even with a check engine light. I don't have a 
copy of VAG-COM yet or even a laptop to run it on or a Bentley for that 
manual.  Up to this point, I haven't needed it. 

I suppose I've now reached that point.  I'm going to try and drag it 
home this afternoon and look at it from there.
