    The car has been virtually unused for the last 3 months.

    The engine management light appeared a week or so back.

    I borrowed a cheap OBD2 reader which failed to work so I decided to buy a dedicated VAG VD500 which would also cover the EPB system. It did the job and found the culprit.





    The plug had a much higher resistance than the others and its burning colour was different.

    Decided to replace all 4 which hopefully are in the post today.

    Yes it should be! The cylinder closest to the timing belt end is Cylinder 1, I say usually as there is bound to be an engine somewhere in the world where this is different.
    On an old Honda I had the timing belt was on the passenger side (right hand side looking into the engine bay) and that was cylinder 1 again closest to the timing belt.

    Were they the GLP194? What was the Bosch long part number? I need to change my NO 3 glow plug too, and after checking the Beru site they should be the Beru GE133 (Superseding GE115). Did you have to clean the dirt around the glow plug holes? Cheers

    I just entered my reg number in the CP4L web and then selected the Bosch plugs. The originals are etched BERU Germany 303 266 020 BEO

    The Bosch box. I replaced all 4 while doing it. £46 is a no brainer

    I set up a micro vacuum tube and vacuumed out the ports before unscrewing then unscrew one turn and vacuum again.

    I used a length of 4mm bore pvc tube pushed onto the plug to lower them down into the ports.
