[Vwdiesel] Flashing glow plug light

[mikitka]

Or if it is like mine there is a short some where and I just don't have the
time to fix it so it flashes when it wants to. No water in the fuel system
because I checked all that.  
To fill some in. I just finished up 26yrs in the Air Force and now retired.
It is funny when I was at work and new airman would come in. I would tell
them that I got to Seymour Johnson AFB back in March of 84 and they would
tell me that they were not even born yet. Talk about feeling old.  Life is
different as a civilian that is for sure. All this free time for now till I
find another job and no time to get anything done. Heck how did I do the
things I did when I was still working?
