They are giving you bad advice... that light is basically normal ... your glow plug light... if the motor starts ok ... it's nothing to worry about .... unless i've missed something and you are saying the light stays on... basically with a diesel you turn the key on... wait for the glow plug light to go out ... then start it.

Hi, i replace the thermostat and water pump flashed the radiator has coolant but still overheating, what else could it be its golf 4 tdi diesel 2002. Thank you

Radiator may have rust/salt deposits inside, if that is case its cheaper and better to change the radiator. Also for future don't use normal tap water in radiator, use a coolant + ph balanced water meant for radiators to reduce salt buildup inside radiator.

Also check the radiator fan is working ok and rotating in the right direction, sucking cool air inside not blowing out hot engine air to the radiator. Some electric fans can have wires mixed up so they start in the wrong direction. (make sure fan is sucking cool air outside towards the engine).

In some cars, radiator fan has a top cover that stops hot engine air getting sucked by the fan, if your car has it, make sure it is fitted properly and is in good order.

Some cars have a fan fitted on the AC condenser, make sure this fan is working as well.

Golf GT Tdi 115 - performance when warm.

you dont say what miles the car has done.but you should now be using semi synthetic 20/50 oil and try using a fuel additive(redex/wynns)to clean the injectors.if you are using oil it is possible that the engine has lost some of its compression due to ring/valve wear.did you know that to convert your engine to a 130/150bhp unit,you only need to change the ecu try"diesel tuning"website.....

Running like bag of spanners

Classic sign of a clogged up fuel filter. Diesels tend to filter out water from the fuel at a larger rate than gas engines. Look for the water separator and empty it, than you may have to move to the fuel filter. These symptoms you describe are all indicitive of a poor fuel condition.
