Can anyone tell me where to find the glowplug relay, it's a 7 prong relay, on a 2002 vw beetle 1.9 diesel no turbo ? allready been under the dash and checked all the relays, none of which are 7 prong, check engine light is on, codes come out...PO671, which is glow plug circuit #1 cylinder, or short circuit condition, or poor electrical connection, or failed glow plug, or glow plug control system fault....Next code is PO118..ECT circuit high, short circuit poor electrical connection, faulty ECT sensor....i replaced the ECT sensor, check engine light still on, get the same 2 codes too....Car runs and starts perfect, I need a inspection sticker....thinking it's the glow plug relay, just can't locate the relay...thinkin replace the relay and both codes go away...Help me find the glow plug relay please...Thanks Clint

It is a relay under hood of your car

Remove the relay, End get rid of it, It is only a bug, Get a real (Vehicle) End not a problemic Volks Wagon, There has been noyhing but probslems with all there cars in the last 12 years, That they went (Down) Hill,

Okay, If this noise happens when you turn the Key to start, your Starter Relay is bad. Now the other possibility is the Glowplug Timer. When you start a Diesel there is a pause in the initial cold start. You turn the Igniition Key to Run, then let the Glowplug Timer cycle. This cycle sound will be a series of clicks which also may cause the lights to dim.

The glowplugs absolutely must warm up to start a cold diesel engine. There should be a light on the dash which either goes off when the glowplugs are ready or a light will turn on when they are ready. It is only after that activity that you will turn the Key to Start.

Since Diesels take more power to Start, there are 2 batteries. As with a single battery system, every connection must be clean. If the Glow-plug Timer is working and you only get clicks by turning your Key to Start, check the things I said earlier. Your Starter Relay and the big cable connections.

If after all of that, the engine will not turn over and only clicks, jump the Starter Relay with 1 cable from a jumper cable set from the Positive Battery cable post to the Starter Relay on the Starter wire connector. Make sure the truck is in Park or Neutral. If the Starter jumper cable sparks and the Starter does not turn, the Starter is bad. If the Starter spins it confirms the Relay is bad.

I hope my Solution gets you going and that you consider this helpful.

Isn't there a key slot under the VW emblem on the hatch?

Hopefully you are using the same ignition key you had before to start the car. This flip module mhas a chip that tells the system you have the proper key. If for some unknown reason the system lost this program it is probably a dealer only problem. The chip is inside the fob right near the key itself.

I personally have used shell rotella 5w40 and nothing else since 2001. You can find it at almost any wal-mart, and napa can get it for you. Recommended viscosity is 5w40, with a commercial rating (ch, ci, cj...) and turbo approved.

if its gas no glow plug. if diesel and not there, maybe a midyear change and moved but the book is wrong. call dealer with vin and ask about the relay and see if they can tell you where it is. they would love to sell you a part would love even more to let them put it in but if you inquire on buying they might tell you where it is

check the fan relay

OPEN L/S DOOR , PULL END CAP OFF DASH , FUSE BOX LOCATED THERE W/ SOME RELAYS & REST ARE UNDER L/S OF DASH OR UNDER HOOD
