Hi folks, have just bought my very first VW Passat. I have the Passat Estate TDI 130 PD. The problem I have is the glow plug warning light flashes intermitently. It has just had a new accelerator snsor fitted by the dealer, but I dont think it was hooked up to the computer to clear the fault. Also on a cold start I get a lot of white smoke for about the first 10 minutes or so. Is this normal?? If not how do I sort it out.

Many thanks

One or more of your glow plugs have gone down resulting in white (unburnt fuel) smoke in the first ten mins of running. Gets better as engine warms up.
