Cylinder 3 Glow Plug Circuit –
22-05-2020,01:39 PM
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.
