Hey all,
So the glowplug warning lamp came on the other day followed shortly by the engine warning light
The car went tinto limp mode, but if i pull over and start the car again it goes away got another 20 minutes or so
I took it to the mechanic who said they reset the computer and all warning lights and they drove the car and all is well
Well, all was not well as i didnt even get 1km down the road and the glowplug light went on again
They seem to be bagging their heads against a wall
Any ideas anyone?
Can someone recommend someone in cape town i can take it to?

I don't see just resetting the error codes is going to make an issue go away. The codes would be useful in finding out what the issue actually is.

Could be a range of issues so as they guys say best would be to scan the codes and work from there. I had two such event on my 2009 Golf 2.0TDI, first one was one of the EGT sensors that failed and one was the turbo actuator - VW was not very efficient in dealing with these issues complaining that it was only intermittent and difficult to figure out. I just used my basic code scanner, did some research on the internet and fixed the problem at hand.
If you get someone to scan the codes - share here and we can surely try and point you in the right direction.
