I have a 96 vw passat tdi, I have replaced the glow plug relay 50 amp fuse under the cowl and still no power at the new glow plug harness. Now the glow plugs in the water jacket work, is there another relay besides the one under the cowl and the 108 under the dash that control the glow plugs? If there is... where can it be found or is this a wiring issue?

SOURCE: NO POWER TO GLOW PLUGS

I have a '98 Jetta diesel that had problems with the glow plug circuit. I ended up replacing the harness and a fuse. All the information I needed to know I found on this web page:

very common for the harness that plugs onto the glow plugs to have too much resistance it will still work but will set codes

SOURCE: MY GLOW PLUG LIGHT IS FLASHING IN MY DASH BOARD VW

Despite what you may read from other comments....The glow plug light is simple a multi function warning light and IS among many othed things in fact used to warn of brake light and brake light switch failure. Therefore it can NOT be treated as glow plug problems only.
I have worked on V.W for many years and have encountered this problem many times. You should get the OBD codes read. This will reveal the exact problem...and there may be more than one
You can contact your V,W agents if you wish and check to see if I am correct.
Best of luck
John

My interior lights wont work in my vw passat 2.0 tdi sport 2007

  • There is a fuse box on the drivers side either under the dash or on the aids of the dash. One of them fuses could be blown.


  • The other thing that could be going wrong is the harness on the driver side door. If you open the drivers door you will see a harness stretching from the frame to the door. You can get into that harness and look for broke, bulged or rusted wires and splice in new ones. This is common with aged vehicles because of the amount that door is used.

2002 VW Golf TDI - Live in northern ontario - -20's with wind chill. When I first drove the car this morning - error code (looks like a clock) on upper right portion of speedometer gauge. Just flashes on ...

Classic 109 relay failure.

Relay is for the Glow Plug system.

This relay provides the power to all of a TDI's engine-based electronics.

If the glow plug light comes on intermittently by itself, check your brake lights too.

A burned-out bulb will cause the glow plug indicator light to come on. Sometimes flashing is caused by a bad Brake Lamp Switch on the Brake Pedal. It was updated for free by VW .

If you can see it under the knee panel, the Brake Lamp Switch body should be Metallic Green....if it is Purple or Black it need updated.

I replaced battery and alternater on my 2002 vw jeta with 1.9 tdi engine and battery keeps running down what is the problem?

If this was why you replaced the battery and alternator then you have a draw above normal.

Normal draw will be under 30ma when vehicle locked.

Even a new component can be bad out of the box. Check glove box and trunk illumination first to see they go out when closed.

Next the overhead illumination...is it off when car locked?

Do you have a aftermarket radio? Amps can stay on.

Next check the glow plug harness for power when the engine is off. Possible the glow plug relay is stuck on.

Contrary to popular legend, this vehicle does not have an electric fuel pump. Fuel is pumped by the injection pump on the engine so you don't need to check this..

VW recalled the brake lamp switch...check with VW to see if yours has been done. Have your VIN # handy when you call.

Engine cooling fans 'after-run' relays can stay on too long too. After engine stopped, check to see if cooling fans continue to run. Should shut off after 10 minutes.

Golfs have a 'Heater' fuse which is a metal strip labeled 55 or 80 amps located under a clear plastic cover. There is also a glow plug relay in the fuse block but that would not turn on the glow indicator if it died.

Turbo lag and lack of power

Hi,
This is the second Vw I have responded to in a fortnight.
Your lack of power I presume always happens when the glow plug light illuminates?
This is because it is causing over combustion to vaporised diesel, I would be looking in the Glow plug timer and relay, as for Turbo lag, I run a E34 6 cyl Bmw Diesel and the Turbo only kicks in around 2,500ish so maybe yours is a little tired or in need of a check up?
Hope this helped,
Paul 'W'
