Im another man with the same engine, same problem. Do you have a part number for this temperature switch. Where is it located on the engine?

hey i have the same issue with my 98 a3 110 itdi ts starts quickly when left for a while or cold, but you've got to hold it when warm.
but today the glow plug light has started flashing non stop so thought that was the cause of this!
i've got the plugs ordered, but do you's think its okay to still drive till there fitted?
and will the starting be better once changed?
