[Vwdiesel] Check engine light

[Bryan Belman]

Shalyn, was your ODB-II reader telling you that you had a glow plug issue and you just did not get the time to deal with it?
Are those glow plugs hard to get to and change?
How did you know which 2 were bad?

I've found that 9 times out of 10, when my CEL comes on in the TDI, it's glow plug related.  Usually, I just have to clean the harness and move on.
