[Vwdiesel] GP lights on / off

[James Hansen]

Put a permanent indicator lamp to the glow plugs themselves to tell if 
the plugs are getting power or not.  The dash light just tells you when 
to start the car.  The relay has 2 timers- one to run the light, one to 
run the plugs.  They both get info from the coolant temp sensor on the 
head flange on front of engine.  Light is just to tell you to start the 
car, it has no real connection to the glow plugs.

what I'm getting at, is the light might be flaky, but the plugs are 
working normally?
