Hi newbie here hope someone could help out?
2006 golf 1.9tdi se with 139k miles on clocks.
Car has been brilliant to date. Had a new flywheel changed last year no problems.
Changed original battery for a halfords approx month ago.
Problem started a couple of weeks ago, was driving along motorway doing 80 and felt a dip in power for approx 1sec then went back to normal but glow plug light was flashing. Go home turned engine on and off and everything was normal.
Couple of days later same thing happened, took it to local garage and plugged it in to a diagnostic testing, came up with fault forgot code but said glow plugs 1, 2, 3 and 4 were faulty. Said that it was rare for them all to go at once so said it must be the glow plug module/sensor.
He replaced the module, reset all the codes and set should be ok.
Couple of days later same thing happened only this time engine wouldn't start all the warning lights came on including airbag light stayed on. Turned it on and off and started fine.
24 hours later driving along, power dip and glow plug light started flashing again. This time noticed as I was driving through traffic in 1st gear engine seems a little rough not smooth as normally is.
Any ideas what the fault could be? Worth changing the glow plugs?
When I phoned the garage again they said it could be the battery but can't see how.
Annoying really as its been a brilliant car 😩
Just to add have read about could be brake lights but they have been checked and they fine apart from one bulb I have to keep changing once a year, always been like that.
Thanks for reading know it's a long post!
