Dear all,
New to this so here goes, had 1.9 tdi VW Sharan for several years with absolutely no problems until now......My wife was on the way to the shops and observed the glowplug light coming on and staying on, and at the same time the car stopped running. She sat in it for a few minutes turning the key with absolutely nothing happening-completely dead. Just before giving up she tried again and it started with everything back to normal? It was a very wet day and the car was parked facing down hill (quite steep) so I am wondering if water ingress could have been a problem. Has anyone had any similar issues I have read loads about flashing glow plug lights but nothing about ones that stay on. Many thanks, Jules n:confused:
