With the glow plug light, every problem I've ever had dealt with the
harness. I can clean up the harness and keep the light off for 6
months or so. Last winter, I had one glow plug actually die, and I
replaced all 4. The light hasn't been back on since.
Check the glow plug troubleshooting thread at TDIclub. He lists every
part of the system and how to troubleshoot/repair it. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?p=749854
It's either the relay, the plugs, or the harness. There isn't much
else to go wrong.
As for the other two problems, let us know how they turn out. :-)
